[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of posters on this thread and similar threads hate written that if the bike lanes lead to more traffic congestion and gridlock on Connecticut Ave, that’s a good thing. They’ve even argued that choking side streets with diverted traffic will make them “safer.”[/quote] So the evidence that the primary goal of bike lanes on Connecticut Avenue is to make drivers unhappy is...anonymous posts on DCUM? Huh. If cars were slower on side streets because the drivers were stuck in traffic with other drivers, those streets actually would be safer. Drivers would have better peripheral vision, more time to react, and shorter stopping distances, and there would be less energy involved in the crash if there were nonetheless a crash. I think there are better ways to make streets safer, but it would make the streets safer.[/quote]
