#ArlingtonVA doubling down on its counterintuitive (and blame-shifting) strategy of directing trail users to stop before crossing side streets. Letting right-turning-drivers are effectively off-the-hook if they right-hook someone (ped or bike) who didn’t stop.
I will never understand Arlington.
@bikepedantic hoping the new MUTCD puts a stop to that nonsense. My friend and I made an emergency stop there once when a person driving pulled out without looking, my blind stoker nearly fell off and we wore the tread off the new back tire to thread. If it wasn't for that tandem's mtn bike brakes, we would have crashed
