I think this is just shameful and happening in Portland, OR no less. In reaction to several pedestrian deaths where the bus violated the pedestrians right-of-way the bus service decides to install a pedestrian warning device and as it is currently functioning it should be saying something along the lines of “If you can hear this you are being run over by a bus.” at a price tag of over $4,000 per bus.<\/p>\n

It’s not clear what is more outrageous, the price tag or trying to put responsibility on the pedestrians to get out of the way of a bus. There is no doubt that trying to shot the gap<\/a> while making a left turn with a bus is challenging but as in all traffic maneuvers the rule should be “don’t do it till it is safe.” The reaction should be for buses to wait for a yellow clear the intersection phase and take the time to do a left turn safely then this idiotic voice reprimanding law abiding citizens.<\/p>\n
