There's this big intersection not far from where I live, the intersection of Sand Hill and the Alameda and Alpine. Yes, three streets. When you cross Sand Hill it becomes Alpine. At this intersection there are lanes for going straight, lanes for turning, traffic lights if you want to turn.. a lot of traffic, a lot of cars and a lot of accidents.
Contraption Captain and I often see broken glass and smashed lights spread out across the road. I remember C. Captain considering a recent spew of glass and plastic license plate frame and smashed something or another. Although there are signs posted in all directions forbidding cars from making a right hand turn on red, they can't really seem to help themselves. Visibility is poor. The cars make a right turn on red and get creamed by someone running a yellow coming from the opposite direction. So it goes.
Contraption Captain: "well, it probably wasn't a bicyclist."
Me: "How can you tell?"
Contraption Captain: "there would be less debris because bicyclists are so soft."
