Lexington painted and extended their bike lane mass ave bike lane green! Green bike lane paint costs about 12 dollars a square foot sooo,, definitely a lot of money. But hey, good safety for intersections.
Also added new blank out No Turn on Red, though the timing isn’t perfect on them.

Grateful for @massdcr.bsky.social converting this signal at Matignon from a pedestrian signal to a full one featuring a blank out sign (that activates before the pedestrian phase !). Much safer intersection now!

Shout out bus lanes!

Review is in: Aberdeen’s new separated lane is amazing! Love being so close to the trees in the center of the roadway, and the transitions are well designed with minimal waiting.

Nice new signal separation installed by @jfh01.bsky.social ‘s team on Mass at Tremont. Felt a lot safer crossing, though that no turn on red sign maybe could use a new location as it’s blocked by the turn signal!

Not sure how I feel about blank out signs being used for signal separation, but maybe it’s okay? The red arrow honestly gets the same compliance as a no turn on red sign in Boston in my experience (despite having no legal meaning).

Happy to see this new signal separation in Boston along Western. And guess what, the compliance is good! That’s what happens when signals are well designed. Putting the right turn signal directly over the turn lane helps a lot. Wish it had backplates though.

I was impressed! West Newton has SBLs too that it connected to and so does Lowell, so good bike network is forming here

Pretty excited about this new separated bike lane/shared use path on Washington street in Newton! Hoping it is extended to the entire corridor soon (:

Goodbye Massachusetts bike ride ):
Will be living in the Netherlands on a study abroad for the following 5ish weeks; very excited!
Nice to see the western Washington changes and the new bike signals along Broadway for the detour lane

Lovely day trip to Cape Cod today on the Capeflyer!
Bike car was totally full, insane!
Fun beach time, cycling, covered bridge mini golf and food!
Also ran into some bike friends on the ride back ( @bikecommutema.bsky.social @dannickx.bsky.social !)

Small wins, thanks Arlington DPW for this no turn on red sign (30”x30” R10-11B) at Marion Street and Mass Avenue to keep pedestrians and cyclists safe!

Some new turn arrows at Alewife Brook Parkway and Broadway. Lead lag (with yellow trap 😳) on Alewife Brook Parkway, and split phase on Boston. Definitely reduces conflicts, but I am nervous about that yellow trap hazard!

Of course I’ll run a half marathon if it’s covered bridges themed!
