Bike to Work Day

Hey City of Santa Fe, in honor of National Bike to Work Day can we please talk about all of the traffic signals along designated bike routes or roads with striped bike lanes that don't recognize bikes at all!? Here's just a few that are along my regular commute, I'm sure there are many many more.

  • Siringo and St. Francis - traffic detection camera doesn't recognize bikes (striped bike lane)
  • Alta Vista and St. Francis - traffic detection camera doesn't recognize bikes (bikeway)
  • Galisteo and St. Michaels - in ground vehicle detection doesn't recognize bikes (striped bike lane/bikeway)
  • Botulph and St. Michaels - in ground vehicle detection doesn't recognize bikes (bikeway)
  • Galisteo and Paseo de Peralta - in ground vehicle detection doesn't recognize bikes (bikeway)

This may seem like just an annoyance, but if only cars are detected at major crossings then the light changes for a few seconds only, often leaving slower traffic stranded in the intersection as cross traffic gets the green.

If you're directing bike traffic along these official bike routes, the signaling should probably be considered.

Just got the email from the Texas Board!

Finally, a mere 52 days after taking the PG exam, Texas sent me an email saying I passed! Anybody know the timeline for being issued the actual Professional Geologist license once all of the forms have been submitted?
