Things are getting better I guess... in NY, "complete streets" was signed in 2011. I consider that pretty recent though. Even post 2011, there were projects near me that were already underway and getting completed that completely ignored cycling. -.-

Which makes a lot of sense. I've been in this situation in my car as well. The light just doesn't change.
