![]() ![]() Adding bike lanes increases that to 7% of the adult population.Ī recent study was released by the University of British Columbia in Toronto and Vancouver Canada using interviews with former patients of local hospitals that needed treatment from bicycle injuries. Survey results by the city of Portland Oregon showed that less than 1% of the adult population would want to ride a bicycle in mixed traffic on a busy street. This increases the capacity of this street going south. Going south, towards the Cahuenga Pass, there will be an additional lane added by way of the bicycle lane. Why would you take away a travel lane that has intersections that are operating at beyond capacity at peak hours and give it to a few people that ride bicycles? Yet, the reaction by a lot of people in this area is that this sounds like the city is lacking in common sense. This will make it perhaps faster and more convenient to reach the two subway stations that are on Lankershim Blvd. On Lankershim Blvd, from Chandler Blvd to Ventura Blvd, the city is proposing to take away one north bound through lane for motor vehicles to put in two bicycle lanes. Something very similar is proposed for bike lane installation in the city of LA. The HOV lanes have proven to decrease the level of congestion on freeways in the LA area. Afterall, why would you take lanes away on a congested freeway to devote them to what looks like a few vehicles? The idea for toll or HOV lanes is that this will discourage some people from driving in single occupancy vehicles. This must look like a idiotic idea to most people who drive on this freeway. All we’re doing is paying CHP officers with our tax dollars to write increased number of citations which just clogs the traffic courts that they can’t keep up with it, so that in the end, the fine gets refunded back to you. If anything, this just clogged down our traffic courts with no real gain. In either case, you end up with is the case thrown out by the judge because the officer failed to appear/failed to write a response and your fine gets refunded back to you.Īnd there’s an increased likelihood of this happening if the traffic courts can’t keep up with the increased number of citations. Or you can also do a trial by written statement in which most officers don’t even bother to do this because as well because they get no overtime pay to write up their written statements. Most of the time, officers don’t even bother to appear for the court because it’s so far out from the original ticket date they can’t remember the instances. ![]() All of these again, can be done on Traffic Court Online.īy the time of your court date, it’s already six to seven months out from the date one got the ticket. Then you post bail (fine amount) and set a court date which is another three months down the road. That’s another three months down the road. You extend it out to the maximum date range on LA Superior Court’s Traffic Court Online. Traffic court dates can be extended once if the time doesn’t fit your work schedule. If you disagree with this, especially in protest with the situation that carpoolers (out-of-state? foreign plates from Canada or Mexico? rental cars?) need to pay a minimum usage requirement maintenance fee for the FasTrak transponder, you can go to traffic court and argue. A fine is just the same as posting bail and pleading guilty. 4, the previous non-holiday Monday.Įven with CHP officers writing tickets, it’s not like there’s a big plus for the city. The traffic volume in the ExpressLanes on the 10 on Monday morning was 99 percent of what it was on Monday, Feb.So the ratio of toll-free to toll-payers was 52 percent HOV 3+ carpoolers to 48 percent single occupant vehicles and carpools with two people. ![]()
