Be careful out there.

I suspect this would be true for any intersection where there isn't a
dedicated left turn lane with left turn arrow. In other words, any four
way intersection controlled by stoplights without a dedicated left turn
lane with left turn arrow operates such that a green light, when making a
left turn, is to be interpreted the exact same way as a flashing yellow
arrow when there is a dedicated left turn lane (that is to say, yield to
oncoming traffic and turn left when safe to do so).

Basically, what this study shows is that unless you have either an all red
or all green left turn arrow with a dedicated left turn lane, left turns
are relatively dangerous.

Actually, it was a cooperative effort between OSU and PSU that pertains to
pedestrian safety. OSU was the principal investigator. Here is a link to
the research:

http://otrec.us/project/484

That's the research that is the basis for the news story. Be careful
though, the research is really targeted at pedestrian safety in the
crosswalk. That issue is really rooted in permitted left turns (yielding to
oncoming traffic) and less so the flashing yellow arrow indication
specifically.

The research is NOT targeted at driver comprehension of the flashing yellow
arrow, which was at issue in that bike/car collision at Powell and Kane
that started this thread. There is plenty of other research on that topic.

If you want to form your own opinions without any media spin...

Kevin,

I think I will take your (and others) advice and post her name here.
Hopefully someone knows her, although she is not in the OBRA database. I
tried google and white pages, but there are lots of people with the same
name.

This is what she told me,
Her last name is Bragg,
First name starts with K

Said she lived in Gresham. She was riding a black Trek road bike, and she
looked like she rode a lot as well (giro helmet, rudy glasses, nice shimano
shoes, showers pass jacket, etc.).

____________________________________

Google her name, whitepages.com, anywho.com, whowhere.com. Post last name
and first initial here. We are a community, someone is bound to know her.

It is a little disturbing that the police will give a person a ticket for illegal parking but not for running over a cyclist. You still have to pay a ticket even if you didn't see the no parking sign.

No Ken, the intersection in question is SE Powell Valley Rd and SE Kane Rd in Gresham. Its one of several of the newly installed (last few months) yellow blinking turn signals.

On another note, I have the woman's name but no contact information. Anyone know how I would go about finding her? I tried Facebook, but no luck. I'd like to send her a note or talk to her about what I saw. The police took my information, but I really don't think they were going to cite the driver after talking with the police at the scene.

My humor was too subtle, sorry about that. I was trying to make a snarky reference to this story:

especially the part where the driver was not cited...

The blinking yellow arrow is common in most of the country. I'm not sure
why, but these are relatively new in Oregon, and I've encountered a number
of Oregonians who seem confused by these and I'm not sure why. It's the
same as making a left turn when there is no dedicated left turn lane and
left turn arrow. You always yield to oncoming traffic. Yellow always
means yield/proceed with caution. These are a good thing, especially for
cyclists. Sitting at a left turn red arrow, hoping a car comes to trip the
green is no fun either.

This morning I witnessed a head on crash between a car and a bicycle. This
took place at an intersection where the turn lights recently adopted that
stupid yellow left turn blinking arrow. Just another obstacle for us on two
wheels. I don't like them even when I'm driving, let alone on my bike. The
woman who was hit thankfully will be okay, but the driver told the police
officer she thought she had the right of way. I wish there was more
required education for all road users, yes including us on two wheels.

Be careful out there and send healing thoughts or prayers to a nice lady
named Kelly (not and OBRA member).
