Thank you, Marc! I’m sad I spent my day shaken up about this instead of celebrating bike joy at Kidical Mass. We’re so lucky for people like you who are creating a world where riding a bike is safe, freeing, and fun.

More people in auto accidents now die outside of the vehicle. Please people put the phones down. Whatever it is (most times) can wait.

The fact that a red light doesn't always mean stop is crazy to me. Turning on red being legal in some places, and flashing red meaning "proceed with caution" are insane.

I'm sorry that happened to you!

Glad to know you are okay.

I'm glad you're okay!!! that's so scary

I'm glad the Lord God made me so competent at predicting the maneuvers of automobile drivers on the roadway. it's almost like I have a another sense other than the 5 normal senses, a kind of sixth sense.

Yes. And they have to make a full stop first, which the driver did not do (very, very few do)

I'm sorry, I agree, and most importantly I'm glad you're OK.

I'm sorry

between cars but also all the cyclists and pedestrians, including school kids, being hit. The stats meant nothing to him. 40k deaths per year in the USA caused by motor vehicle drivers, but getting to the grocery 30 seconds sooner is more important than addressing this mass death and injury crisis.

This has literally happened to me twice

I've had a very frustrating number of close calls with drivers turning right on red on my block. Yes especially frustrating since there is no right on red at that intersection. 🫩

Oh no! That’s awful. And the jolt of adrenaline is no fun either. Hope you get a peaceful week!

And for that reason, and many others, you should not be able to

And the people who feel compelled to honk at you when you deem it not clear as they choose not scan the scene….it leads to poor, unsafe reactionary maneuvers

It's because people don't obey the law regarding coming to a full stop and checking the right of way before turning. Sit a cop 100' down from an intersection and stop and ticket everyone that ignores that law. Of course, it might help if cops obeyed that law.

So scary! Glad you are ok but yah I bet really rattled. I bike a few miles to get to the bike path I like to cycle and I’m so nervous the whole time of drivers.

If the filter is green the the lights on the crossing to the right would be set to red. It works.

We have that here too. Works well. But right-on-red? There are times it might be safe, but it mostly isn’t, normalizes bad driving, and also does not improve traffic flow and reduce idling as was the original goal. Total failure.

Ugh I’m sorry, that’s horrible. If you’re willing to DM me the location I can try checking it out to see if there are any design mitigation opportunities. I have a “no right on red” requirement concept I’m trying to test in the East Bay.

I'm glad you're ok! That's so scary
