Cynthia Chilton, the woman behind tomorrow’s Traffic SafeTea event, sent me an interesting map the other day. It comes from the City of Portland and shows the location of all the reported bicycle crashes in the Portland metro area from 1995-2004.
Here’s the map:
The BTA is working the halls of Salem right now to build support for Senate Bill 573. According to an action alert sent out by BTA lobbyist Scott Bricker yesterday,
“The bill would allow pedestrians to use a hand signal to employ their right-of-way, rather than the current standard of entering the roadway and putting yourself in front of oncoming traffic. It will increase communication and safety.”
The bill has already been recommended by the Senate Judiciary Committee and Bricker hopes to see it move to a vote on the Senate Floor later this week.
Here is the full text of the bill.
Contact your Senator and ask for their support.
UPDATE 4/19/07: The BTA just reported that this bill has passed the Senate. It now moves to the House.
UPDATE 4/20/07: The Oregonian covers this on the front page of today’s paper.

Remember the mysterious, underground race I posted about a few weeks ago?
The grueling event became an instant classic when 100 riders showed up on a rainy day to battle the brutally steep, fog-shrouded climbs in the West Hills above downtown Portland.
