Why Some Cyclists Might Not Welcome Changes at Fell and Masonic

Monday, August 4th, 2008

It’s safe to assume that wheels are in motion for changes at the infamous Fell and Masonic intersection. Even District 5 Diary’s Rob Anderson (and hey Rob, nice pullback on your recent reckless and defamatory post this past week) doesn’t object.

But here’s the problem for some cyclists:

 ”A traffic signal displaying a red, yellow or green bicycle will usher cyclists through the intersection.”

That means you’re going to have less time to get across deadly Masonic on your bike. Hopefully, these changes will add up to fewer injuries but if you cross on a red bicycle light, as you might be tempted to do, any collision that results will likely be blamed on you.

The changes will take some getting used to, anyway.

Have fun, stay safe!

The Windy Summertime Streets of San Francisco

The winds in San Francisco don’t quite know which way to blow at the busy intersection where Market, Polk, Fell and 10th streets meet up.

 As often as not, the flags there blow in opposite directions.  Click to expand:
