I bike commuted (year round) to and from a job for more than 3 years
that took me over this crossing. I ride past this intersection going to
and from a volunteer gig - various times and days of the week. To be
honest, I don't recall any glaring problem. I do recall multiple
locations where the Cap City path crosses intersections where I need to
be more vigilant with my search and at times I'd encounter less than
helpful motorists. I got good at identifying them (vehicular citizens -
including cyclists) prior to crossing and would keep my distance.
As far as drivers becoming 'numb' to signs and eventually 'ignoring' the
NTOR signs, the solution is simple:
ALL citizens would be required to have special chips embedded in their
brains. Then millions of electronic sensors will be planted along the
millions of roadways and bike trails. As a vehicular citizen approaches
the intersection (complex situation), a signal is delivered to the chip
in the cerebral cortex, dispatching an internal message or stim-shock,
reminding the motorist that (in this case) a NTOR situation is
approaching. (these sensors could also alert you to special events such
as half price beers at Harmony, Cupcake specials at Daisy, legal advice,
the presence of rowers and loons on Lake Monona and the latest goofy
quip from the Rep. Paul Ryan).
... of course, bikers would be subject to this as well as they too miss
required street signs.
(or we could just take responsibility for our actions, do good searches,
and bike safely)
