A New Category of Sloth 3324

Seems that's all you are concerned about.

Wooptie Do. You seem to think the law is be all and end all. Let me guess, you are one of those people who thinks it's perfectly ok to screw over other people and treat them horribly so long as it's legal? I ask that because you seem so concerned about legality.

Well, maybe you should describe with more detail.

Well, that's true. Who knows, that guy stopped on the cross street might race into the intersection and T-bone your vehicle.

Again, it's not one person being slothily getting though the intersection. One person can generally be absorbed, it's countless people being sloth like. It's just like all the SUVs. It's not one truck's lack of ability that's the problem, it's that every-other-vehicle being a truck that results in the problem.

Preventing a crash? Hardly. How is hanging out in the intersection longer and not accelerating preventing a crash? If anything it's encouraging one. How is needing to stop at the head of the queue because the driver wasn't paying attention preventing a collision? It's not. He could have been paying attention before then and knew he could go right through instead of sitting there reducing intersection throughput.

Bull. I've been stuck behind them with the bicycle.

Sloths generally ARE speeders. They exceed the speed limit between lights, but at lights are horribly slow. They accelerate poorly. There is only one clbutt of sloth that doesn't brake the speed limit. All the other clbuttes do, just like everyone else. I've been trying to point out to you that speed is irrelvant. Do you really think the driver following the 45mph speed limit to the letter is slowing me down between lights when I am riding a bicycle? No, they take up all the green arrow time as they yap on the phone, eventually notice the green arrow has appeared, check 9 times that the intersection is clear and proceed through at 2.5 mph.

Chicago.

There are lots of sloths in chicago.

What's with the CA bull crap? Another diversion like your speed crap?

What minivan? I didn't mention any minivan. Try to pay attention.

timing of lights? As a rule the lights in the chicago area are not timed. They are sensor loop priority type systems. Between driving and bicycling I have a very good understanding of the programs that the lights are running and they are not connected to each other in any meaningful way.

Again, speed between lights isn't relevant. Please explain how it is when the problems exist wether I drive or ride a bicycle? Do you think I am doing 55mph in a 35mph zone on a bicycle or something?

You keep wanting to make this about between block speed, and it has nothing to do with that. It's about getting through intersections, maximizing the throughput of the intersection, not between block speed.

It's like you simply do not want to discuss the topic at hand but keep going for something else.

AGAIN, MID BLOCK SPEED IS NOT A FACTOR, BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME WETHER I AM DRIVING OR BICYCLING. How much of hurry do you think I am in if I am using a bicycle?

You keep saying if others are delayed, too bad.... seems like you have no concern what so ever.

It does not include anyone you disapprove of. How nice. Sounds like the arguement an LLB would use. Well they are exceeding the posted speed limit, so I can block them. Ok, mister, should I block everyone who is violating the law and slow them to my bicycling speed?

Not asking for a safety compromise. You aren't gaining any safety by proceeding through an intersection slower than I can on a bicycle. You are actually exposing yourself to more danger. You aren't gaingin any safety by not paying attention until you're at the head of the queue. There is no gain in those sloth behaviors, only loss of throughput.

They don't call it c(r)ook county for nothing. But that doesn't change the fact that sloth drivers are causing congestion, and now you've seem to have realized it.

So your view is 'it's all f***ed up, so I'll just make it worse'. Great, you and few thousand others. That's the real reason things will never improve, your mentality right there.

Then why the hell are you arguing with my view then?

THen this is at an end.
