@ptrcknlsn Eventually. I still can't figure out how it works.

@JenMontgomery84 When the one bicyclist came by, I stepped aside for her.

@DFlashmann I tried to, but got frustrated at how small of a "box" they put me in.

(Played SimCity 4 modded with NAM since '03. My region was 20 million all through low-density suburban sprawl lol)

In light of Twitter's increasingly unstable future, I invite you to meet me over at @Reddit -- at least until we figure out where our new discussion place will be.

I can't in good conscience support an 80-hour work week. Suggestions where we could move our road discussion?

@GabeTeranOxnard That's fantastic!

I do still want to cover something in Oxnard sometime. Any traffic calming projects (working on that topic at the moment).

@ChrisPasley2 They wouldn't let me wear an orange vest. So, an orange shirt had to suffice. Good eye!

[Road Guy Rob @roadguyrob]

@towaii That was me! With my friends, the Grady family.

@JenMontgomery84 @notjustbikes @CityBeautifulYT The current plan is a bit disappointing. Too much parking in the middle (versus on the edges by the freeways). Blocks are too big to feel like a walkable "urban village." Not nearly enough density.

Utah has a chance to do something BIG. They should do something BIG.

@SYCAMOREGRAD @controlcityfrk What interchange is that? Those are some interesting "ghost ramps."

[Road Guy Rob @roadguyrob]

That's a pretty nice compliment, @markiplier

[Road Guy Rob @roadguyrob]

Demolish old pedestrian bridge: Okay.
Neighbors fight to **STOP** rebuilding it: HUH?

@LS3VEN @twcau My problem isn't a big highway. Some just need to be big.

It's when designers just assume nobody on foot will try to cross it. Or, assume everyone can share one side -- making the walk needlessly long.

We were born with feet, not wheels. lol

@chrismarion100 I'm looking all over town on Google Maps and can't find that corner. Too many curvy roads, lol!

That's certainly a cheap way to indicate the road curves (as opposed to installing proper chevron signs). I'd think it would be a temporary fix, but... since 2018, you say? Wow.

[Road Guy Rob @roadguyrob]

@twcau Cool project. The chicken looks a bit terrified, though.

[Road Guy Rob @roadguyrob]

@stevenathan320 Land use: US suburbs use a network of increasingly higher-speed collectors/arterial roads to operate (We MUST STOP ignoring pedestrians in our designs)

But wishing suburbs & major collectors would "go away" (& teasing tools to improve xwalks) is not problem-solving!

[Road Guy Rob @roadguyrob]

So... congratulations on the west getting Interstates 50 and 60, I guess? 🤷‍♂️ #somethingwronghere
