BUUD Alert #3!
November 4, 2008
This is Bicycle-Unfriendly Urban Design (BUUD) Danger Alert #3!
Location: Hollenbeck Ave at El Camino
Issue: The traffic signal yellow-light duration is way too short for a bicycle to make it across El Camino before the light changes to red. Even at >15 mph, a bike entering the intersection on a green light can’t make the other side before the light is red.
Proposed solution: Increase the yellow light duration.
