To add insult to the injury and death caused by despicable drivers and the govt failing to hold them accountable, is even more distraction from the questions that should be put to the responsible for the infrastructure that did it.

In what addled state does a aim a STOP sign at crosswalk users who have the right of way? Do you expect pedestrians to stop and yield to drivers at this crosswalk? Besides being meaningless under state crosswalk law, it also goes against the Oregon bicycle design guide, which clearly states that bikeways are given priority at minor street crossings.
(Of course is a parks not dept 🙄 I could occupy the full lane on 92nd instead?)

A birdsite friend asked what local improvements I'm most happy about in 2022. did a lot of big things this year, but my favorite is a simple ped signal on a side street that now defaults to "walk."
This town went for a long time without a licensed on staff. We've got one now and suddenly things we we've been told for years were impossible are quietly getting done. It gives me hope.

friends: can you remind me what it's called when a traffic light goes from green to yellow then back to green again, with no red?

Bonus points if you can explain the rationale for it...

@orko trying contacting your city's . They have the ability to adjust . If your traffic cameras are modern, they can distinguish between cars and bikes and set different timing for each.
