Opinion: You aren't imagining it, cyclists and pedestrians: L.A. traffic lights favor cars (via latimesopinion )
Too many new buildings have too many parking places, by law. The city should reduce the amount of land devoted to cars, so more housing can be built.
The traffic lights just haven’t kept up. The city should align ATSAC with our larger goals of helping people use cars less, especially for shorter trips, and to get to and from Metro stations without using a car at all . More people would walk more places if signals responded quickly when they pushed a button to cross the street. Angelenos would be more likely to use a bike to get around if we had a network of safe bike lanes that included sensors and responsive signals .
In a rethought approach to traffic signals, we should have more intersections with scramble crosswalks, where pedestrians can cross freely in all directions at once, while cars are completely stopped. We need more intersections with dedicated bike boxes that prioritize those walking and cycling .
