I think you should also add a point for public transport, a bus with 30 people should not have the same priority like a car with 1 person in it. Trying to keep public transport always moving will also have other benefits.
- mrandish 6y agoThat's an interesting idea, however it could lead to some unintended consequences such as cars being incentivized to 'caravan' with busses.
- notjustbikes 6y agoTransit should always be in it own lane (as it is in most of the Netherlands) so there's no downside to this.
- wjnc 6y agoSolved as well. Special bus lanes exist and have separate lights that (seem to) get priority in these smart systems, at least over cars. The fun thing is that these are often routed parallel to the bike routes, at least in the few examples I can think of right now, so if the bus comes and gets priority the cyclists get green as well. Never thought about that our traffic lights could be something special.
