      <![CDATA[billyjak, that is what you or i would do, but the fact is the city has painted a bike lane here, which tells both motorists and cyclists that the cyclist "belongs over there."  there is even a state law that says this, 814.420.  so while it is "not that hard," it is made slightly harder by the striping of the bike lane.<br>
<br>
and oregengine, the bike box was put in after a couple of people got right hooked here, and it does nothing to address the problem during the green signal phase.

      <![CDATA[For years I lived in the apartment building (the cool one that had the balconies destroyed by evillandlord) to the right of where the bike is parked in the photo. All one has to do is take the lane and pass the right turners on the left. You know, like the normal flow of traffic. Not that hard.

      <![CDATA[Cheeky? Right, it's not like anybody actually gets right-hooked at that intersection. That road is such a threat to bicyclists that the sign is sorely needed. I don't see it as cheeky or unintentionally hilarious. To you find stop signs or other city-maintained traffic signs hilarious too?<br>
<br>
(I'll admit, I always enjoy the "End road work" and "Dip" signs.)

      <![CDATA[but for a serious moment, how many people got hooked by shitty drivers on that road? 10, 30? I think that after the tenth bicyclist it was clearly warranted that mediocre graffiti. Way not to overreact clever assholes of portland. You so aren't like the tea-baggers you roll your eyes at. No sir, no difference, you are in the right.

      <![CDATA[Right hook zones actually aren't a bad idea, some signs that announce 3x the normal traffic fine for hitting a cyclist/pedestrian in this area.  Kind of like a work zone, at least then someones death might approach a thousand dollar fine...
