Instead of RRFBs and Hawk signal crossing treatments, we should have moose crossings. You hit a button and a large stuffed moose (aka moving bollard) is mechanically moved back and forth hanging from a beam in front of the crosswalk between people walking and approaching speeding vehicles. #RRFB #HawkCross #Crosswalks #SafeStreets

#Berkeley’s 2017 Bicycle Plan recommended seven improvements to the Russell St. #BicycleBoulevard. Five years later, the very first of these to be implemented, in part, is finally going in: an #RRFB at Russell & Claremont. As it turns out, there was a car vs. bike collision at this intersection two weeks ago.

I really hate RRFBs (which I think drivers ignore, unlike traffic lights or stop signs), but I’m glad anything at all is happening to make this treacherous crossing safer.
