And now I totally want a bike camera to film the dickwads that try to run me over. I'll have to practice my potty mouth beforehand, though.

I also usually avoided the intersection, but that's because trying to ride down 16th St. during rush hour is akin to suicide :)<br /><br />I have a feeling that this whole set-up is really just a test situation, which is fine--I just wish they would just say that rather than trying to convince everyone that it was a necessary improvement.<br /><br />(I tried the bike signal system again the other night, and no matter where I tried to put my bike down on the chevrons, I still couldn't get it to change, even after waiting through 3 changes of the vehicular signal).K.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00931653177744192669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363088052151598696.post-26939603289963869392010-08-24T12:33:52.788-04:002010-08-24T12:33:52.788-04:00I think the reason New Hampshire has always been o...I think the reason New Hampshire has always been one-way at 16th and U was to keep that intersection from becoming massively complex (on both sides New Hampshire only allows car traffic to flow out of the interesection, not into it).<br /><br />I commute by bike through that intersection almost every day, and until recently I dealt with the one-way thing by jagging over on V Street, or T Street, to 16th. This really was no problem at all, and I usually got through the light at the same time as the bikers who had ridden wrong way through New Hampshire did. <br /><br /> Today I tried the new lane -- not only does it seem to invite all kinds of confusion for drivers and bikers alike, but it took me an extra light cycle over my old pattern to get through! The fact that they had a "bike ambassador" and a DC traffic official (who reprimanded me for not staying perfectly in the box) posted there this morning is testament to how confusing this new setup is. So I'm not a fan at all.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561615147518117185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363088052151598696.post-37420409207133489852010-08-17T22:44:37.428-04:002010-08-17T22:44:37.428-04:00That would be great!

The sidewalk in the 1400 block of Park is so narrow, that it makes it a street that really *needs* a contraflow lane for cyclists.<br /><br />I really don't want city planners were thinking when they redesigned that intersection.<br /><br />Then again, there other ridiculous areas as well. Look at the 1600-1800 blocks of Euclid. It's one way east, then one west, then two-way, then one way again.

Not only does Monroe flow back east, but Kenyon flows northwest straight back into that disastrous intersection (which makes little to no sense if you're trying to go south), and Irving flows east. The only way to go south on 14th is to take 13th or 11th down to Columbia. bleh<br /><br />Here's hoping we get a contraflow lane for those 30 yards of Park!Another Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555722546982081280noreply@blogger.com
