SF's First Green Bike Box

(maybe someday here in the Midwest)
Mayor Gavin Newsom, along with bicyclists, City leaders, neighborhood groups and business owners helped paint the city’s first green-colored “Bike Box” (an advanced stop line that gives bicyclists priority waiting room in front of cars at stop lights) along the city’s popular “Wiggle” bike route at Scott and Oak streets. Download our Press Release (PDF) and see photos.

January 5: California's first green Bike Box became a little more real this morning when DPT crews stenciled a bicycle on it. The stencil and the green colored pavement help demarcate this Bike Box, an advance stop line that allows cyclists to safely and visibly position themselves in front of cars while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
