Shocking that this driver of MA 1PNN49 is driving with an expired registration and a failed inspection.

There's a reason the MA hands-free law calls out no phone usage when at a red light and in a travel lane.
This driver is inching forward in the intersection as he faces a red light, with no awareness of a bike crossing to the sidewalk (it's a dangerous intersection ahead on a bike) till I shout.

Reminder to cyclists: you can always take the lane, even when there's a bike lane, especially when said bike lane is full of wet leaves

The house deserved it for not wearing bright siding and lights, and for darting into the street between parked cars.
Am I doing this right?

I'm sure if the driver of MA 2SDM61 hit someone blowing through a red light 4 secs after it changed, at an intersection marked No Turn on Red, he'd blame solar glare and police would let him off. (Cyclists are expected to use the pedestrian phase to exit the new shared-used path here.)

All five of these drivers turned left on a solid red, based on the timing of when the walk signal came on.
But I'm sure they're ranting about that cyclist they saw who rolled through a stop sign at 4mph.

It's the same deal on nextdoor with residents griping about the Newton Washington St road diet
«I think the Washington Street fiasco is an attempt to impose from above an urban landscape on people who prefer their suburban landscape.»

When NIMBY residents rail against road diets and bike infrastructure, as they are doing on Washington St in Newton, MA, they are saying these two individuals don't deserve safe and comfortable transportation because they are not in a car

Is there a better view of the misallocation of @massdcr.bsky.social riverfront space for cars vs. active mobility? The icing on the cake is the post for the sign _for drivers_ further narrowing an already narrow ramp, where two bikes cannot pass at speed

If these motor enthusiasts can't maintain the speed limit, they should get off the street and onto the race track or something where they can enjoy their hobby.
In cities, drivers often slow down cyclists far more than cyclists slow down drivers.

A short clip showing why unsignalized crosswalks across multiple lanes are dangerous. Driver nearest me stops (as I put out my hand), the couple starts crossing, and driver in the furthest lane violates state law by passing a vehicle stopped to let someone cross (malegislature.gov/Laws/General...)

When drivers inadvertently admit they don't like bike lanes and redesigns to slow traffic and make walking, biking AND driving safer because they don't want to pay attention when driving.

Time to end this automobile lane nonsense the motoring enthusiasts have for years been pushing for in Boston & nearby cities.
Taxpayers paying $$$ to pave 2 lanes for them, and on a beautiful summer morning at 8:30 on Comm Ave, none of them are using it.
Imagine in the winter how empty they'll be!
