And the golf course intersection is one of the worst problems, I have seen many near accidents there between fast golf drivers and walkers, kids, cyclists, skaters, etc. The bump guards have helped but the golfers just speed around them. <br /><br />The worst intersection on the LR side is the BDB parking area and that initial crossing because everyone is going several directions. The city has changed it to one-way into the parking which is somewhat helped but I think it needs some slight design fixes and signage to finish it off.<br /><br />This needs to be addressed because most people just assume that "they" have the right-of-way. Generally, good manners seems to be the best guideline. But unfortunately, everyone thinks everyone else should yield to them....<br /><br />One of the biggest problems is that drivers don't yield to cyclists, skaters because they aren't in the crosswalk, yet and they don't anticipate speed and there are near-hits all the time. I have literally been in front of a car and they were so distracted by the walker and all her dogs that they nearly hit me, I had to bang on their car to get their attention. Also, lighting is a big factor, often at dusk, drivers just don't see you. I have trouble seeing walkers at dark on the trail too.<br /><br />We need to 'sign' and address this problem and decide 'who' has to yield to who. Hopefully, this will be done with the design in the new AR River Trail System committees (of which I am a member).<br /><br />Thanks for bringing this issue up for discussion!Lynn Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319471012350330893.post-57798473963207316782012-05-01T08:59:53.041-05:002012-05-01T08:59:53.041-05:00That's what!That's what!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319471012350330893.post-30723990274296841402012-04-30T23:31:20.200-05:002012-04-30T23:31:20.200-05:00Good, informative, entertaining read as usual John...Good, informative, entertaining read as usual John.Vinny Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210020148498639880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319471012350330893.post-3690245237754202442012-04-30T22:22:59.320-05:002012-04-30T22:22:59.320-05:00Thanks, Charlie.

The current situation of blissful ignorance works well most of the time and I don't think the officers will,be too hard on a bunch of skinny guys in funny pants as long as those guys are on bikes and not romantically engaged in a public venue.JBarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612290032138592894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319471012350330893.post-46010173300142179032012-04-30T22:17:04.166-05:002012-04-30T22:17:04.166-05:00Fantastic write up with great attention John, than...Fantastic write up with great attention John, thank you for dedicating your time.Charlienoreply@blogger.com
