- It's Seattle's first "protected intersection," which essentially aims to prioritize the safety of non-motorized traffic in that corridor. It includes new traffic signals that make it safer for people to walk and bike to cross Dexter Ave. N. from Thomas Street, particularly during events at Seattle Center

…..ENDLESS rain, and grey!! I can’t believe I lasted 23 years up there before coming to my senses and moving back south!!
That's why is so green... Git
@@novajtv …….NO THANKS. 🤷🏼♂️🤔👎🏻
It's actually a drought this year. It has not rained for a few weeks and fires will break out if it doesn't rain more. Sky places had it bad
No drought here, that's libtard M.O. Things don't burn at 90% humidity , it's not easy for arsonists to burn gasoline soaked coal.
gross. Imagine thinking the south is a better option.
Ah yes the no guard rail just more cement method.
It's very popular among SDOT design influencers.
Talking about bikers and they show a clip of a dude on a scooter.
700 bikers? How many cars? How much money did the City of Seattle pay to help 700 bikers?
The city has their priorities backwards. Let's take on crime, drugs, and homelessness, not pandering to the bike vote.
Bikes are an important transportation mode. Make it safe, more will come.
100% Yep
@@user-jy3br3wj1d In a rainy, hilly city? I do not think so.
If we are going to spend tax dollars on these improvements, let's also tax bicyclists. Make them have a license plate and pay annual tabs, like automobiles. Let's make them get a special bicycle endorsement and require them to get insurance. Let's also make them responsible for the rules of the road, just like automobile drivers.
I cannot tell you how many accidents I have almost been in, because bicyclists ignore red lights or stop signs.
@@Golfnut_2099 stop signs are can be treated as yield signs for bikes, learn the law. Also, car insurance is because how easy and often they damage property or maim or kill people. Not a problem with bikes.
Also, cyclists also pay taxes (city streets are mantained through general taxation, only the interstate is partially mantained with fuel tax).
@@nadie8093 RCW 46.61.050 Bicycles must obey traffic lights and stop signs (as well as all other traffic control devices)
RCW 46.61.126 Bicycles & Pedestrians must follow traffic laws
RCW 46.61.750 Bicyclists riding on roads must obey all traffic laws.
RCW 46.61.790 Legal to bicycle drunk, but police may impound bicycle if you are too drunk. (***Interesting... I did not know this one... LOL... Maybe a new way to get home from the bar!!!***)
RCW = Revised Code Washington.
The problem is they do not obey traffic laws. They ignore stop signs and traffic lights. They treat them as suggestions. They do not properly signal lane changes or turns. I have seen accidents caused by bicyclists. They just take off while the two or more cars have lots of damage. If a bicyclist uses a roadway, they should have to carry the same liability insurance as a vehicle driver.
Roadway maintenance in Washington State is funded through the gas tax.
It's called a waste of taxes
Sad but True
.....no, it's called designing safer roads for pedestrians and bikes.
You want to talk about wasting taxes? Take a look at car infrastructure my dude. That stuff is outrageously expensive but even if you don't drive and damage the pavement you still are made to pay for it. We're talking BILLIONS of dollars for a handful of miles of highway widenings, and hundreds of millions to repair that stretch in a dozen years. A bike lane is literal a drop in the bucket in terms of DOT budgets. They could make every intersection in Seattle protected for less than a tenth of what it costs to just maintain I5 through Seattle.
@@shannonnewman3091 how?
This is what happens when corporations run your city
errrr....its Democrats.....head injury....?????
@@lazynow1 sorry for your injury. There is no democracy in the U$A. Representatives are only good for a banana republic. Referendums are what democracy is about. Glad Ur learning
@@JTSunriseMusic see that is a sign of a head injury...is your confusion of facts....seek medical attention....a banana is waiting for you....
@@JTSunriseMusic please see a Dr.
@@lazynow1 please finish grade school
Complete WASTE of money. Just like most of the things in Seattle.
Cars damage the road surface while bikes do not. Each car on the road is a net NEGATIVE for the tax payer while each bike rider is a net POSITIVE. If you actually cared about making taxes lower (which you don't, you just like to complain), you would want more people to bike and less people to drive.
how is it a waste? elaborate please.
