Ari Ofsevit<p>Can someone ELI5 why we require traffic warrants before we install signals which keep pedestrians (and in most cases, drivers, too) safe?</p><p><a href="https://better.boston/tags/MUTCD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MUTCD</span></a></p>

NYC Glue<p>Just sent a note to NYC DOT Commissioner. DOT-646556-R7W This HHP / Route 9A Northbound Exit 12 exit ramp is two lanes wide. Why does a road posted at 50mph require an exit ramp that is two lanes wide? One can only make the turn onto the exit ramp from one lane so we have a case of parts of one lane expanding to two lanes. Seems very wasteful.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RoadWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RoadWaste</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ExitRamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExitRamp</span></a> <br>Neglected to ask if this ramp is <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MUTCD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MUTCD</span></a> compliant.

Benjamin Ross<p>New <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MUTCD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MUTCD</span></a> mostly fixes problems I found in definition of "intersection." But it opens new cans of worms by defining "site roadway" to include any road on a university site, with "site" undefined. What, eg, are the boundaries of the site of Harvard?<br>Any road maintained by a public agency (including a public university?) is also a "public road." Junctions of site roadways &amp; public roads w/o signals or stop signs are not intersections, so pedestrians don't have right of way to cross.</p>
