    Slower speeds, means greater density aggregations. That leads to residential streets being utilized more heavily and less likely to be policed or have pedestrian concerns as part of the signage plan. The arterial that turns on my corner is used less, far less then the by pass up the residential street, with 4 blocks of steep hills and limited pedestrian views. Sometimes faster is better.

    First into the intersection isn’t always the legal course. How do you prove, and what is the tolerance for whats considered “first”? We cleared two of four lanes when we collided with another car entering the same intersection. Guess who was ticketed? The other driver never even looked, head was locked straight on. But since she was on the right, it didn’t matter to SPD. Her word against ours, although we felt the spot of the contact in the intersection demonstrated we entered it first. We saw her the whole way and kept expecting her to yield, but by then it was too late. We braked, otherwise she would have tagged our rear fender instead.

    So what if you are on the right, what does that do for you and your family when a car slams into you at 30 mph and you and family are hurt badly!

    Drive defensive, never trust another to stop for you. Has worked for me. Does it piss me off, yes, but at least I’m not 6 feet under.
