Bike Boxes

It took a couple months before the Bike Box along the Wiggle began to be effective. Located on Scott at Oak Streets, the Bike Box is a green space that is wedged in front of a car lane, but behind the crosswalk, intended to give bicyclists a head start ahead of of cars when the light turns green. It's actually a sophisticated tool that is also being used in places like Portland and Minneapolis/St. Paul, cities that are now far more bike friendly than SF, due to their ample support of bicycle infrastructure.

In any event, San Francisco has decided to move forth with the Bike Box by adding a few more of these green splotches along Market Street, which in the commuting hours, is overrun with two-wheeled commuters.
