I’m confused about what is street level and what is curb level but I do like how it appears to prioritize safety of pedestrians and cyclists over everything
Here's a video that shows what it's like to bike through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox1g45ccoQ8
Bit annoying that bikes have to wait for two separate crossing signals to turn, but overall, it looks a lot safer.
Where I live they rarely wait for one, or even pay any attention to traffic signals at all, for that matter. They seem to have an issue with the whole “sharing the road means we have to follow the same rules, otherwise I have no idea what you’re going to do or when you’re going to do it, and that’s how accidents happen” concept.
Lol. Stupid ass take 🤣
Feel free to think so, I’ll be the one still walking after the accident lol
Cool story bro
Thanks! I think I was mostly confused at first because I’ve never seen an intersection of two-way streets that requires cars to turn before
