Just to be clear, I’m not endorsing this at all (unless it’s MUTCD-compliant shade of red)

The MUTCD is the last refuge of cowards.
Here they are explaining why they can’t do No Right On Red.
Answer: because it slows down cars. Brem PubWrks is a car highway agency.
17 excuses why the safe thing can’t be done.

If SB 5595 passes, it will be the first law in America providing a legal framework for shared streets. So, I'm working on MUTCD sign ideas appropriate for an American context.

Massachusetts’s MUTCD amendments now has guidance that NO TURN ON RED should be the default approach to new signaled intersections in the commonwealth. This is great work @massdot.bsky.social !

Dumpsters, pallets, street detritus, and a MUTCD-adjacent traffic circle sign keep the ICE flowing slowly.

It has been nine years and MUTCD has still not adopted the prayerrow, which I believe is a more accurate pavement marking.

Even the federal MUTCD guidance is that construction signs should not block bikeways or sidewalks, & yet it’s still extremely common.
So many cities are sticklers for the MUTCD in justifying worse outcomes for biking/walking, but forget about it when it might help those modes.

MUTCD violation, unless there's a regulatory requirement to thank the driver (don't give them any ideas)
😂 lol come get your carbrain medal, sign maker 😂
Also interesting that they use four different terms with slightly different connotations: traffic, motorist, vehicle, driver.

The reason HAWKs exist is overly stringent MUTCD requirements for full signals. The FHWA could simply amend the MUTCD to allow for full pedestrian signals at midblock locations at similar thresholds to HAWKs. We invented this whole other system no one understands because of a silly regulation

The brand new section of Elon's carhole, the Vegas Loop Westgate Station tunnel, just opened but I don't understand why there are a bunch underground intersections with of traffic lights. How is this the future of transport when...

the US (as a whole) has a lot more experience with transitways than ontario. that experience has been codified in the MUTCD and other standards.
i guess canada, by delegating most transpo to the provinces, does not have a national MUTCD-type standard.

There’s really no substitute for moving the curb. You can paint the street a slightly different color and paint all the car-brained, MUTCD-compliant stripes you want, but most pedestrians still won’t step off the curb.
