Petru S. 🚄🚦🚲 @sofio.bsky.social · 23/09/2026A good lesson for longer term operations, where maybe the second through lane should become a RT lane to signal separate turning movements which are high. That could allow a new protected only left lane and phase at Mass and St. Botolph, which is sorely needed. 130
Petru S. 🚄🚦🚲 @sofio.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Loving what @streets.boston.gov has done here at Mass and Huntington. Due to construction the 4 lane road with bike lanes had to be narrowed. BTD decided to prioritize protecting bikes and peds and implemented a road diet in both directions to 1 lane. 242

Reposted by Petru S. 🚄🚦🚲Gordon Padelford @gordonofseattle.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I'm hearing some concerns up about implementing "no turn on red" as a default policy in Seattle, so it's worth remembering that allowing turns on red only saves "1-5 seconds" on average for 🚗 drivers, meanwhile it increases 🚶🏼 crashes 60% and 🚴🏾♀️ crashes 100%.

Petru S. 🚄🚦🚲 @sofio.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Well unfortunately NTOR compliance is typically follow the leader. People in front of the lines are usually the only ones who check and then everyone just assumes. But, on the bright side, if the first car stops, it’s self enforcing. As a designer, I make the restriction as obviously as possible. 0100

Reposted by Petru S. 🚄🚦🚲Charlie Weingartner @charlieweingartner.bsky.social · 13/08/2026A coupla things here: 1) People, by and large, obey the law 2) No Turn On Red is self-enforcing. One good citizen stopping as required, prevents other people in the queue from breaking the law. This has a compounding effect. 3) This is purely an argument between driver convenience & ped safety. 🧵 2254
