I dont think theres any in NJ, even with the new two-way bike paths.

I haven't seen any, but hopefully some will be installed soon. Maybe Jersey City will be the first, or Hoboken.

Off topic, but there are diagonal louvers on the pole-mounted signal.  Purpose?

Probably so that bikes don't see the green for vehicles turning left and think it pertains to them.

Any idea of how it came about? That two way bike path appears to be high quality, but is just 2 blocks long

Off-topic, but the use of the double-yellow skip lines across breaks in the separating median (where vehicles can cross the bike path) is very odd and definitely non-compliant.

High quality except for the 45 degree abrupt turn to dodge a bus stand. I'm curious how many head-on cycling collisions have occurred due to that.

Doesn't look like a popular place for biking, but it's good that they're building out a network. They definitely should fix that geometry if it gets busier.

I thought for sure I had a photo.... there's a bike signal in Bentonville, AR. It's along 8th St near Wally World HQ

Thanks to a map being posted in the general Traffic Signal thread, I was able to check out some signals I didn't know about.


At first I thought this bike signal in Charlotte, NC was a "FYBS" (Flashing Yellow Bike Signal lmaoooo) but looking closer it appears that the bottom aspect is actually a green arrow. I guess it's to let bicyclist know it's safe to make the left. There's another signal for the same movement on the opposite corner.

However, there does appear to be an actual "FYBS" in Alexandria, VA

There are actually full FY bike signals in Minnesota. St Paul has some interesting ones: https://youtu.be/LxKFhhaMC0s
