bike boxes are a unique idea
Saw this article, which got me to this article. Pretty cool.
By allowing cyclists to wait in front of motorized traffic, the bike boxes are intended chiefly to reduce the risk of “right hook” collisions, the kind most frequently reported in Portland, in which a driver makes a right turn without seeing a cyclist who is in his path. Drivers will not be allowed to pass through the bike box to turn right on a red light, although many right hooks now occur after the light has turned green, when traffic quickly accelerates.
Just think how pissed lincolnites would be about those.
that would piss of some fusker fans.

That idea should work in 70 years when only 30% of Americans will be able to afford to drive cars.

Lincoln drivers can’t comprehend the complexities of a bike lane (not to mention how to use a blinker), how can they be expected to understand this?
