  1. Maybe the glass windows and doors should have been fixed before taking photos. Looking at the photos of an empty parking lot makes me wonder if these places are still in business.
  2. On Saturday I saw a Metro police car go on the tracks to get past the blocked off block on Main St. and a woman who was behind him followed onto the tracks. Officer was not happy he was being followed, but it does seem weird to have a protected lane on a street when the green/purple line shares the street with vehicular traffic.
  3. I wouldn't mind a coffee shop in this area, but they bought too much real estate for that.
  4. It's a private group. You can share the photos directly.
  5. That's an interesting location. Could have a another location inside Hobby airport, too.
  6. They do have the signs, and there were signs there before that also said to yield to pedestrians. https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7906213,-95.4054452,3a,75y,294.18h,88.1t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sxOIo6DQsF0zwYCcdqF4a_A!2e0!5s20191001T000000!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e2?authuser=1 Nicholson has yield signs posted, Heights Blvd does not.
  7. 11th St. westbound at Shepherd is an awkward mess right now, as there is enough space for two lanes, but it is unmarked. Could a right turn only lane be added here? Or will it have two lanes to help with traffic? Also, the lack of bike lanes here makes me believe they won't continue along 11th St. to Durham's bike lane, which is unfortunate.
  8. You can only do that in one of the two lanes which becomes one lane even though there are no lines indicating it's only one lane. "No signs, no lines," is Houston's motto.
  9. They use a left turn arrow when there aren't any left turns in a traffic circle. They use a continue straight arrow for both lanes as the indicating arrow to exit the circle. An arrow pointing left does not mean continue going in the lane. I think the arrow should be circular to indicate the angle of the lane/exit. What actually confuses me is there are no arrows currently in the circle. You are expected to just figure it out that some sections are two lanes and some are one.
  10. Those arrows are confusing to me, anyone else?
  11. I think they tore down the houses in November. They had some vehicles parked there for a couple weeks, but it's been mostly empty the rest of the time.
  12. I'm not sure if I'm in the correct lane or not when I go through this. I hope this makes it easier to navigate.
  13. 11th & Nicholson Looks like they are placing these on the bike path curb.
  14. All lanes on Hempstead at 12th are now open after 6 months of no workers present, maybe the whole project is complete? I saw some workers on 11th this week but I don't go down that way.
  15. I bet traffic time would be 0 if we tore down the highway. I think that's the argument the article is aiming for.
  16. I drive through this intersection daily. The issue with 11th St. at TC Jester is there aren't any turn lanes, so traffic gets its own turn to turn left, but if a car has to yield to oncoming traffic in the left lane, then it backs up cars behind it. The same applies for right turns on red, 8 cars turn right but the 9th doesn't, blocking another 5 cars who could have gone. It was like this before the construction.
  17. Widening Highways Doesn’t Fix Traffic. So Why Do We Keep Doing It? Maybe the point isn't to fix traffic?
