More #ClimateDenial #PredatoryDelay by #PBOT, status-quo #YellowCenterlines and a guardrail on the wrong side of the walking/biking path. #DefundDOTs

@aweechwhobikes @bikescape yes and 20 is not really the question, if it's just for access not a thru street for cars, or until there is room for bike lanes and sidewalks, #yellowCenterlines are the last element that should be added to a street

@Anibyl @bikescape remove the #yellowCenterlines, maybe try it as #advisoryBikeLanes

#YellowCenterlines give #drivers the wrong idea about how to share our limited street space. This bus driver is giving lots of room, and driving where they would be if #Terwilliger were an #edgeLaneRoad makes for a much safer and more pleasant #pdxBikes experience, even as the bus passes us going uphill. Wider bike lanes and a narrower shared center space would reduce speeds and put the conflict between streams of traffic with matching bumpers, requiring drivers to slow down and pay attention.

#Portland Bureau of #Transportation (#PBOT) wants to know if people think they're doing a good job. LMAO. #YellowCenterlines leading to a #NeighborhoodGreenway #SlowStreets signs and barrel cowering over by the side, cutting-through drivers ignore the yellow lines anyway, surface quality is crap and getting worse with every mile driven by car. They should just cut the entire yellow paint budget, I don't care how much they already bought, use it on curbs or something.

This #chokePoint is how you combine #trafficCalming and safer #crosswalks, with more cost-effective #EdgeLaneRoads. Instead of #YellowCenterlines forcing people on bikes to "share" with cars, two-way car traffic shares one center lane. The #AdvisoryBikeLanes can be used for two drivers to pass each other, but by default, those spaces are dedicated to people walking and biking. (SW 45th, #SWTFpdx, so many streets need this, not blinking lights and victim-blaming.)

@owen @bobco85 @seabikeblog this @activetowns video has a bit about the middle-of-the-road loading zone in Port Townsend with #EdgeLaneRoads. Too many space-constrained road redesigns are starting from the flawed assumption that they need #YellowCenterlines, which waste most of the space most of the time.

#PBOT out here re-painting #YellowCenterlines, #TrafficEngineers must think the existing design is fine...

#drivers:

did the grind off the #yellowcenterlines in that picture or were they forward-thinking enough to not paint them while repaving? #EdgeLaneRoads
