Here is last night's GoPro footage, you can jump to 1:28 to get to the 'action'
WARNING: my language is not acceptable for basic cable:
Also, really nice long crossing signal, it's flashing "DO NOT CROSS" before I finish crossing on a bike!
Yeah I have it much better. Nothing like that at all, that is a wonky crossing and like you said short.
I would call the city every day I almost get hit and send the video each time. Get them to give a longer crossing and ideally not allow right turns while crossing. Maybe get them to sit a cop there and ticket drivers for failing to yield. I personally think people behave better when they know they can't get away with the little things.
Your accent isn't from Minnesota is it?
