... Doubly depressing. I would have thought Richard had better sense, and APBP having a vote on anything other than where to pick up lunch is troubling. -- P....
Bob & P.M. & others, In my not-very-humble opinion, you guys are being too harsh on Chairman Richard and on the NCUTCD committee process, for a number of...

John, My disappointment with Richard (a gentleman I hold in high regard usually) has to do with this one sentence, whether typed carelessly or not: "It seemed...

Nice. You will be quoted I suspect. Have you considered putting this on the LCI-group list? At 08:43 AM 2/6/2009 -0800, you wrote: - snip - ... - snip -...
I just received the DVD containing all the papers from the TRB meeting last month. I will post the papers that I think this group will find interesting so that...

The karma was good last Thursday and I attended the public meeting. There were almost more official representatives than public at first, but the numbers...
Bob, I really enjoyed and agreed with what you said. When I was riding on a daily basis nothing bothered me short of someone physically impeding my direct...
... Santa Clara County in California has a policy of "delineate but don't designate" - that is, paint the stripe but don't paint BL stencils or post BL signs....
Here is the text of the proposed addition to the law: "§264- Traffic control devices; shared lane markings. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the...
Interesting wording. It appears to be directed to educate cyclists to move more into the lane. That's a positive point for the bill. If motorists are...
I see one reason to support it. I think that sharrows have been or will soon be approved, so Hawaii will eventually use them. The last I read about the...
... It sounds like they will be installing 4" edge lines to mark the shoulder rather than 6" bike lane stripes. So there will be markings (edge lines) defining...

There is a gutter along this stretch of roadway, but it's not particularly wide. There will be no bicycle symbols and I wish the engineers involved would stop...
Because my velomobile is 30" wide, it's too dangerous for me to play in the gutter. I agree that most people on bikes are likely to use it and even if they do...
... Is every sign or pavement marking necessarily a "traffic control device?" I'd start with that. How about something benign such as "indicate that bicyclists...
