[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm all for slowing down streets--when the signs first popped up in Capitol Hill, I thought DC was building bump-out intersections. Great idea. But no... of course not... we only got stupid signs which aggravated everyone and blocked cars from passing each other legally. Epic fail, DC.[/quote] I agree with this. The blockades actually made the situation more dangerous because cars couldn’t safely clear intersections. Seattle does this thing where they put this little tiny traffic islands in the middle of intersections in residential neighborhoods. It’s a much better solution and aesthetically pleasing too.

(which is why Bowser's DDOT probably won't invest in them).[/quote]
