The New Hotness

  • Traffic Signal Timing: Burnett Blvd. at Rt 55, Redux

    Just in case you think reporting a problem to NYSDOT will actually produce any action:

    Burnett at Rt 55 2015-11-08 - Yellow 5 s after green
    Burnett at Rt 55 2015-11-08 – Yellow 5 s after green

    Apparently, NYSDOT’s bicycle safety criteria allow greenlighting opposing vehicles onto bicyclists in the middle of intersections, so there’s no particular urgency to fix this non-problem.

    They’ve been “studying” that situation, without contacting me for any further information, since July, so you can decide how much they’ve accomplished thus far. I know NYSDOT employees get offended when you call them liars to their face, but they have never, ever produced any evidence showing that I’m wrong.

    Yeah, call me a cynic.
