    It’s good, but still needs raised barriers. You can see on the graphic a truck driving right over into the cycling lane.

    These style of intersections were all over the place when I lived in the Netherlands and they make cycling circulation much more fluid and safe. Hopefully they synchronize the lights properly using induction loops on the asphalt.

    Also, can we get those in Montreal on the REV? Left turns are deadly for cyclists and drivers sometimes have trouble turning right during rush hour.

    In the render it clearly shows no curb between cars and cyclist, so fuck all will change and they will keep parking and driving on cyclist lane. Not unless that is a shitty render and they are bringing actual curbs.

    Lol we’ve had these in Oklahoma for a fucking while… If we can handle it surely they can.
