Description

Quincy and Broadway, heading towards the library on Broadway is well marked for cycling and has a dedicated light for cyclists. As I was biking into work today, I stopped at the red cycling light and watched as 4 school kids drove through the red (one actually bumping the back of my bike because they were surprised I stopped at a red light…), while traffic had the green right turn arrow. It was a bit worrying as it seemed like they could have been right hooked by any of the vehicles who had a green turn arrow. I think there may be 2 solutions - 1 ) dedicated traffic personnel at this light at school opening similar to what you have at others and 2) move the dedicated bike red light to be more obvious - I wonder if they saw the straight arrow for the vehicle lane and thought it was ok to go
