Dear Bikers

[dhbearguy]

As I said, no matter where the right turn is, there can be a car on bike action!


This morning at Gough and Market, the location you have to turn right in your car since you can't turn right at Octavia.

Until the day when autos won't turn unless there's been a signal, or we get thousands of extra cops ticketing nonsignallers, you have to assume the worst, which means slowing down and being able to stop before you'd hit a car unexpectedly turning. Sucks, don't it? You expect anything to change? :-)

Yep, you're totally right. As I've got older, I've managed to do that whole slowing down thing. I still think that stupid people should be ticketed.

They keep saying they can't afford the manpower to keep such traffic control going. BS. At $100 a ticket if a cop can't write 16 in an 8 hour shift he's blind. That works out to be about $400k for one officer revenue-wise. Seems like it's more revenue than expense, even when you take into account the salary, vehicle and personnel costs.
