Video: crossing the #DivergingDiamond on a bike. In the first crossing you have right of way, and the rest of the time you're told to wait even while the parallel green lights protect you with a wall of traffic. Don't miss the scofflaw driver rolling the red light at the end. Note that you cannot cross to/from the other side of the street, so this dance to get into the center is stupid, why not just be crossing only 2 single ramp lanes? #BikeTooter #TrafficEngineering #DriverAccountability

In 2009, Missouri became the first state to install a #divergingdiamond interchange (DDI) at a congested intersection in Springfield. This new design quickly reduced traffic congestion and significantly improved safety, with crashes decreasing by 40-50%.
However, drivers have mixed feelings about the design.
