I'll tell you what it means to me. It means you did not even bother to read the
**DATA** in the links I provided. Moreover, given that this data originated from proponents of bike boxes its quite damning. I would love to see what less biased observers would conclude. Oh wait a second...this experiment was conducted in Holland in the 70s and 80s and their planners concluded that bike boxes are deeply flawed infrastructure:
(via Hembrow's blog -see link above)
According to PBOT's analysis, in the four years prior to the bike boxes being installed (2004-2007), there were a total of 16 bicycle-involved right-hook collisions at the 11 intersections. During the four years after (2008-2012) there were 32. Of those 32 collisions, 26 of them (81%) occurred at four of the 11 intersections.
Even PBOT has admitted, albeit very grudgingly, that this infrastructure is not working...while still managing to blame cyclists for wearing short skirts...ahem...speeding.
