Two ways to cross a street

Posted on April 25, 2012 by jsallen

Cyclist Richard Moeur stars in this video comparing the time it takes to cross the same intersection as a rolling pedestrian, or as a vehicle operator. A light rail train, a homeless person and a number of motor vehicles also make appearances. Popcorn time…well, actually it only runs for 5 minutes.

    Were those sharrow symbols in the bike lane as it became a “sorta crosswalk/bike lane?”

    Something sort of like shared-lane markings. Is it a bike lane? Is it a bike box? You might have a look at Richard’s and my video of the similar installation at Jefferson and 7th in Phoenix , which goes into more detail.
