[SDCBC] FW: BE CAREFUL OUT THERE: News Metro -- KPBS radio host seriously injured on bike

[Jim Baross]

Too bad about Tom's incident. He has been very 
supportive AND a regular bike commuter, though I 
don't recall whether he has been the beneficciary 
of any Road 1 or other training.

I hope this doesn't sour him from continuing.

I've been through there a few times but not during the morning commute hours.

Ideals for improvement?

1) Making the angle of the right turn to be more 
severe so that motorists would have to slow down 
more in anticipation of the sharpened turn? ... 
though it looks to be 90 degrees now...

2) Installing lane markings to indicate the 
straight through and right turn only lanes sooner 
and more disctinctly... maybe with those square 
dashed lane lines that indicate a lane is separating?
