MobilityMaine“ In one study, male bicyclists were shown to have proceeded straight at an intersection while the light was still red to get ahead of the traffic. Female bicyclists waited for the light to turn green. Turning truck drivers, proceeding on the same green, killed the law-abiding and careful female bicyclists.” https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2023/01/is-cycling-safe-in-many-cases-the-answer-is-no/ #WomenWantToBikeToo #bike4fun #bikesafety #BikeTooter
🇳𝗮ꜟ𝖼𝘩@MobilityMaine This is the main reason for advanced stop boxes for cyclists. With cars getting bigger all the time, this is a problem that's going to get worse.
@Naich I have to admit I had never heard of “advanced stop boxes” until a few weeks ago! I haven’t seen any in person here in New England, but I saw one on a video about cycling in London. It’s the kind of brilliant that makes one wonder why it hasn’t existed for a century.
