"Turn right on red" green indicators 🚦➡️.
I was almost hit by a car again today.
Will black paint help?
About a 6 months ago I was hit by a driver.
I had green...
I still feel back pain.
I'll start:
A massive intersection of stroads that disrupt what would have been a great rail-trail.
This is the only sidewalk to get down from a ridge in town. The walking path is under 3' wide, often with piles of junk. The road is 30 mph, but people usually go 40+ mph and it's around a blind corner with a huge retaining wall on one side.
Bonus: once you get to the bottom of the hill, the sidewalk ends in a crux between two merging double lanes (makes a 4 lane road) so you don't even get to keep heading down the hill at the bottom, but get to then cross two lanes of 40mph traffic with no crosswalks.
A short, steep, poor visibility, no merge area entrance that immediately preceeds a narrow, no shoulder concrete bridge. Easily more than half the cars attempting this ramp during commute hours end up stopping completely. Because even when we focus cars, we can't do that right.
If bad bike lanes are more your thing, follow the state route north into town. Unguarded. Impossibly narrow. Frequently obstructed. They're more dangerous to use than the car lane.
