For some reason I thought this meant she was cancelling night buses πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ.

Congrats to Seattle’s next mayor, looks like lots of great transit policies to come (:

The difference in the time it takes a streetcar in Amsterdam vs. Toronto to clear an intersection after servicing a nearside stop.

Grateful for @massdcr.bsky.social converting this signal at Matignon from a pedestrian signal to a full one featuring a blank out sign (that activates before the pedestrian phase !). Much safer intersection now!

New type of pre cast curb for the region! Nice that it’s only about .5’ wide (at least that’s what it looks like to me), compared to the Boston/Cambridge spec that is 1’ wide. Curious on the durability compared to those other types

NOOOO the 4” bike signal those are so hard to find. Someone definitely drove into it.

I actually spent 6 weeks there this summer and ook ik spreek een beetje nederland! So I’m well versed with Dutch street design (:

Review is in: Aberdeen’s new separated lane is amazing! Love being so close to the trees in the center of the roadway, and the transitions are well designed with minimal waiting.

Oh I see! Yes, probably coordination. Longer term solution here maybe would be to provide a dedicated left arrow and then only call that front crosswalk and no turn on red light when that’s in use. Thanks for the explanation (:

I’m a bit concerned about this new sign because the only reason the signal there should be red is because pedestrians are crossing. Maybe taking the signal off of pedestrian recall and adding in a no turn on red sign would have helped efficiency more while ensuring safe practices?

If the signals and signs are closer to the stop line, they don’t need to be as big

That no turn on red sign appears the be the largest allowed but the MUTCD, 36”x48”. Maybe nearside signage can be installed to get the message across?

This is some wicked clever stuff from BTD. Looking forward to seeing these tactics used in the field soon! Seems like such a win for the region. www.boston.gov/departments/...

Also the amount of landing lanes kind of lessens the effects of the turn hardening and that sharp angle

I just drove a car today though and when something is in your blind spot it beeps. Like how stupid do you have to be to drive while that alert is going off? I guess I overestimate drivers. But I did expect them to turn
