Also wish folks here would realize that you actually can drive it home on one headlight (as opposed to driving in traffic with highbeams on) and a headlight bulb is like, $30 if you radically overpay, more like $7 typically. #RoadGeek

Here's the Wikipedia about the state highway that bans cars. The #roadgeek in me is freaking *loving* it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-185_(Michigan_highway)

I keep saying we need to design infrastructure that an 8 year old boy or a 98 year old woman can navigate safely. Instead it seems like, especially with car and bicycle infrastructure, we're designing for the 20 year old douchebag in mind. #RoadGeek #Bicycling

One of my favorite #RoadGeek #YouTuber has put out a pretty good video about why #jaywalking laws benefit nobody.

@hilytesaber I swear whoever composed the label for this #beer can has a stronger grasp on the #MUTCD than a significant proportion of traffic controllers in #Oklahoma.

I mean, I see what they're doing here adding a lunar signal, but I see two problems with this... we already use lunar signals, and they mean "walk" or "transit can go" depending on the symbol displayed. And the other problem is autonomous vehicles don't exist and won't for the foreseeable future, and it's highly likely that it'd an impossible concept. #RoadGeek #AutonomousCar

New diverging diamond interchange opened in my area this week, and my other half asked if I wanted to drive through it for fun. He gets that I am a #roadgeek! And of course we did.

Forum thread about Interstates just went like this...

Person 1: <says something wildly inaccurate>
Person 2: I think we need to get Baloo in here on this.
Me: <weighs in>
Person 3: Nuh-uh
Person 4: "Oh give it up already, you have lost the argument."

Problem: Too many motorists in too little space running over school children.

Best answer: Close the street to motorists other than school buses during peak times kids are out.

#Florida answer: Throw up an all way stop and call it fixed forever.

The all way stop should never be deployed. It's a lazy non-solution for bad engineers.

Woo! Looks like #Texas is having an old fashioned #FreewayRevolt finally. Really hope that goes somewhere, it's amazing what you can do when you're not flushing everything down the "more lanes in the city" toilet. #Transportation #Roadgeek

I think this really stands up as being a potential contender (at least temporarily, though long term, as this construction's been going on for months with no end in sight) for America's sorriest bus stop. If you're having trouble spotting it, look to the far right end of frame behind the massive unprotected pit. #Roadgeek #TulsaTransit

Guess we're doing the #Introduction thing again so, it's pretty much as advertised in my profile. Currently been posting a lot about #OpenStreetMap #EliteDangerous #RoadGeek #Furry #FursuitFriday #Oklahoma #Tulsa

@blogoklahoma Other than making US 69 (nice) an expressway the whole length, which doesn't seem to be happening, I can't think of a single highway expansion project that's justified and not just flushing money down the toilet. #roadgeek @RoadGeek@gup.pe
