The New Hotness

  • Traffic Signal Timing: Jackson Rd at New Hackensack Rd

    Getting through this intersection requires setting a new bicycle land speed record:

    Signal Timing 2015-09-18 - New Hackensack Rd at Jackson Dr - Yellow at 3 s
    Signal Timing 2015-09-18 – New Hackensack Rd at Jackson Dr – Yellow at 3 s

    From a standing start, anyway: that yellow appeared 3 s after we got the green!

    Signal Timing 2015-09-18 - New Hackensack Rd at Jackson Dr - Opposing Green at 10 s
    Signal Timing 2015-09-18 – New Hackensack Rd at Jackson Dr – Opposing Green at 10 s

    That intersection seems to be controlled by the Dutchess County DPW, but it’s pretty obvious they don’t have any bicyclists on their staff…
