I second that.

**crashe** · 19th October 2005, 12:13

Speedmedic - I forgot to ask: Do you happen to know what kind of bike it was?

Very dissapointing. As a traffic safety engineer in Auckland a couple of years back we recommended to Transit that this be changed from a right turn filter to a fully signalised turn. They didnt think it was nessecary.

Ive a right mind to post the email address of the Transit engineer concerned.

RIP
