A wishlist for the new #MUTCD, via @Streetsblog and #nacto https://usa.streetsblog.org/2023/08/16/six-changes-to-look-out-for-in-the-next-edition-of-the-mutcd
@ebar1307 So ... *yes* to your overall point. But I can't count the number of times where the stop bar, theoretically where you are supposed to stop your vehicle, is *past* the crosswalk. I've not checked but am confident that this is not a recommended practice by either #AASHTO or #NACTO. So enforce, yes, but also build better infrastructure.
Vignesh is a great follow

Today’s gospel according to #NACTO
“(Sharrows) is not a facility type and should not be considered a substitute for bike lanes…”

JSK starts with A people centered approach to our #streets. Vehicle safety and road design. "Flying driverless cars are NOT the future of transportation. [Xanax version of the future looks frighteningly like Seattle's waterfront.] But reality is people trying to get across the street in Orlando.

Offset intersections can pose unique challenges to designers. What do you think about the one that they've done here?

One thing that were really lacking in the industry at the moment are the standard details for safer and superior cycling infastructure. These are the building blocks that young and eager engineers can use to upgrade our roads and streets.

New report from #NACTO shows how "Shared #micromobility has proven itself to have ... value as a resilient and essential part of our transportation systems."
Currently, most US systems try to cover whole cities with 1,000 or fewer bikes. Empty bike racks often end up frustrating people who cannot complete trips.
Soon, city leaders will wake up to #bikeshare as a low-cost, effective way to address climate and equity, and the bikeshare systems of many cities will grow.
