Not Just Bikes

NOTE: Unofficial lemmy community.

A Lemmy community for Not Just Bikes, a video series about life in Amsterdam, and why Dutch cities are so great. It's not just bikes.

Rules:

  1. Be Nice. It's the internet, but be nice. And report trolls & spammers.
  2. No memes. No memes, image macros, or low-effort posts. These are easily upvoted, but they pollute the subreddit very quickly. POSTING MEMES WILL RESULT IN A TEMPORARY BAN.
  3. Stay on topic. Try to stick to posts and comments related to the themes of NJB videos, or content creation. Things like urban planning, mobility & transportation, social equity, Dutch culture, etc..
  4. No trolling Go troll somewhere else. We don't need that shit here.
  5. No comment screenshots We have no patience for advocates of vehicular cycling. You can talk about vehicular cycling, but if you promote it as an alternative to safe bike infrastructure, we will ban you. You can post that crap somewhere else.
  6. No people being hit by cars / road violence Do not show videos or pictures of people being hit by cars, or other road violence. We don't need to see that shit. We know cars are dangerous, and many people have bad memories of car crashes. Keep it out of this subreddit.
  7. No tone policing We don't need any more tone police. If you don't like the tone that Not Just Bike takes in his videos, there's a very easy solution: stop watching them.
  8. No Internet drama Don't spread or promote drama over what has happened on the Internet. You're spending too much time online: go touch grass.

Thought I'd kick start this community with a question.

For me (Madison WI) we have some pretty good signal engineering, at least for North American standards. Signal cycles are getting shorter and shorter, leading pedestrian intervals are pretty much standard for every intersection Traffic Engineering touches, and no turn on red and protected left turns are getting added more and more. We're also adding (good) transit signal priority with BRT. TE also recognizes that smaller intersections (fewer lanes) can lead to better intersection efficiency due to shorter cycle times, which is great.

Lately one of the problems is we're limited by the software the traffic signal vendor computers have. For example, shortening read clearance times remains a challenge (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KPGVP85WpU) because red clearance intervals are a fixed time in the signal vendor software and not table-based. :(
