]]> Comment on Govnas Guinn and Miller want Maglev by Dany Glades http://ecostreets.net/2009/05/govnas-guinn-and-miller-want-maglev/comment-page-1/#comment-198 Dany Glades Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:11:54 +0000 http://studentdev.jour.unr.edu/ecostreets/?p=598#comment-198 I'm curious about these stuides myself. I still have my doubts that Americans would use maglev train instead of their comfy cars, even if it means avoiding traffic. I like maglevs a lot though, hope they will spread around the world, and not only in Asia. My fave on-topic site is http://www.maglev.net I’m curious about these stuides myself.

I suffer from what some may politely call lack of coordination. I've been in several bike accidents and with each one I get a little more skittish about biking the next time around. Maybe I need a tricycle? :) Also - drivers in Nevada and especially California mostly drive like it's a competition to get to the red light first. Le sigh. Nevada needs better bike laws...in favor or cyclists! Thanks Fred for the comment!

It is one of the skills taught in Traffic Skills 101 classes put on by the LAB. Alternatively, you can get a mirror to attach to your helmet or bike, but using a head turn also informs observant motorists that you are planning to make a lane change. I prefer the standard left turn method and use it on four to ten lane roads, by negotiating each lane in turn. When I signal a lane change, some drivers will not allow me to change lanes, but many are polite and considerate. Sometimes I have to begin the lane changing process as far in advance of the intersection as a half mile, especially on the ten-lane roadways. By the time I've negotiated each lane change in turn, I'm at the point to move into the left-turn lane. Even though it's not particularly consistent among motor vehicle operators, a turn signal indication from a cyclist is more often met with consideration. I have heard plenty of times, particularly from Northeast drivers that it's not wise to signal a turn, as it warns the driver behind, and he then speeds up. It hasn't worked that way for cyclists, I'm happy to say. It’s unfortunate that you are “freaked out” looking over your shoulder.

We have a pretty good routing system for a more complicated and larger network--the Internet. There exists "oblivious routing schemes", which mean that every individual can make their decision about which route to use (using this scheme) without knowing what everyone else is doing, and yet some global congestion parameter can be made quite low (w.h.p.) compared to a globally-optimum solution. Can't we use these for routing cars? Point 1 doesn’t seem valid. We have a pretty good routing system for a more complicated and larger network–the Internet.
