Anyone out there know of studies on the safety of people #walking & #biking along the #highway when there are #roadside flashing electronic #billboards present?
My city's looking to get rid of an ordinance that prevents sign content from changing faster than a minute (or thereabouts), to allow signs to flash & change at any speed.
This is the sort of thing I would've put out on twitter back in the day... Mastodon, watcha got for me?😃
@forpeterssake yeah, if we could solve that problem, the whole thing would be solved! It's kind of like, cars + drivers are eating a giant steak sandwich, & they left a bite for you & me, now they want to take that away too.
Allowing signs to flash at driver speed is definitely a #carcentric choice, but at the same time, City Hall has fretted lots about drivers #speeding etc. So I'm hoping for a study, data, etc that I can present & ask them to think about what they're doing for all road users.
