Median bus lanes also can make TSP easier and less expensive to implement.
A textbook of bad street design:
✅ Curbside bus lanes, which never work
✅ Right turners can block bus lane
✅ Bikes and buses, which move at different speeds, share one lane
✅ Narrow sidewalk blocked by trees and posts.

I found this street diagram for a project in Las Vegas and damn its perfect for Aurora Avenue here in Seattle

First time playing the Age of Steam Detroit Bankrupcy map. All three of us agreed it was better than the base map.

My top ten 'new to me' games of 2025. Some good games on this list, but not a very deep year for new good games.
Not to many stinkers though either (that list will be out later)

Makes me want to do a top 5 TSP operations in Madison list this weekend...🤔
Although look at this, Ontario, proper transit signals... and it feels like pretty decent TSP!

every single time there's a legit NFL football game between two legit teams there is a bullshit call that completely flips it and everyone will have to act like that wasn't the case
every time ... it's the league's biggest weak spot by 1000 miles

Good article, but we are confusing rest in red (which is a signal operation like coordination or free) with a detection strategy.
We operate many signals in red rest but without the speed based requirment. @davidzipper.bsky.social

A Bright Idea for Road Safety: Traffic Light Timing
Cities that adjust stoplight cycles to emphasize safety can curb dangerous driving without racking up big costs or triggering pushback from motorists.

Here's another example of Madison hating drivers. I decided to drive today rather than take the bus, which gave me the ability to check signal timing on East Washington.
Stopped at 5/22 signals for 1:46 of 14 min trip time
Stopped to fix a signal on the way in to work.
Wow...terrible!
