At some downtown Baltimore intersections, looking both ways isn’t always enough

All bus lanes in Baltimore City should be protected with concrete and steel. Don’t just make it a hassle to drive or park in a bus lane, make it impossible. Give ppl REAL options, besides driving, to get to/from work.

Yeah, that intersection of Lombard and Light is crazy. Pedestrians get a walk signal at same time cars get a green right turn light to drive through the crosswalk. It's really dangerous and makes no sense

8 seconds is a lifetime if you’re riding a bull. In this case it’s BS that the city set the timing so briefly. Four lanes + two shoulder + full median = approximately 70 ft A person walking 3 mph is traveling 4.3 ft per sec….that takes at a minimum of 16.3 seconds…..if the person isn’t disabled, elderly, distracted by butterflies….. walking kids. The standard should be 20 seconds min during daytime hours 0600 - 1800. That’s reasonable.

Sorry, cars have a green light to specifically turn into the crosswalk while pedestrians are simultaneously being told to cross? That is lunacy

Fools

how many hours of footage to you shoot do stitch together this 1 minute of outlier behavior?

The traffic signal in the middle of 1800 Orleans St is a 5 second walk, if you press a button. Cross 4 lanes and a median while facing incoming vehicles from hospital and parking deck. City DOT gave it the OK in 21'.

Is there a process for decommissioning a crosswalk? @ZawodnyDaniel

Fixing the timing of these lights will help a lot. People are extremely impatient at both of those lights because it’s the end of a line of lights that they’ve waited at because a lot are mistimed. The left turn onto Light also doesn’t mark lanes well at all.

The original design of Baltimore was a walking city fyi.
