USA Today: "Bicycle-shaped signals, which are common overseas, now used in at least 16 U.S. cities"
"At least 16 U.S. cities, including Austin, Denver, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington D.C., have installed the lights, which feature a bicycle-shaped signal, according to an October study commissioned by the Oregon Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. They signals are common in Germany, Sweden and Australia, according to the study."

Passing, following distances and speed limits
These are some observations from today's solo ride:
Pushpins on 9W
Hi everyone, passed many pushpins on 9W on my way to Piermont this morning, specifically between the towns of Tenafly and Alpine. Didn't take the road back to the GWB, not sure if they're on the other side as well.
CP weeknight laps (by request)
Ride is posted.
My Ticket Was Dismissed!
Back in August, I was issued a $75 ticket for going through a red light in Central Park. In November, I spent about two hours at the courthouse for what I take to be the arraignment.
This morning, I'm happy to report, the ticket was dismissed because the issuing cop failed to appear. A lawyer in the courtroom, who was a former cop, said that there is a fair chance that the cop won't appear. He may have to appear elsewhere on a more serious matter; or if he's on vacation, the NYPD won't pay him the overtime needed to get him to testify. But if he's not doing something special, he will appear.
The Bridge
Saints be praised (and the Port Authority, too)...the south path on the GW will be open all this week!
