Check out a time lapse of the NEW safer road designs on 6th Street (Walnut - Brown) and Walnut (Vel Phillips to 20th) in Milwaukee.
Some elements:
- Bus bulbs (buses don't have to merge back into traffic, and it is easier to get on/off bus)
- Protected bike/scooter lanes (wide enough to be plowed by snow)
- 6th Street PROTECTED INTERSECTION - safer for drivers, walkers, and people riding. Offers space for turning drivers to wait as pedestrians cross, while letting traffic flow.
- Raised crosswalks
Sorry for no audio! I'm still learning as I go here. The YouTube version has some free audio on it. Let me know if you have questions!
