"Converting an existing constrained #BikeLane to a #ProtectedBikeLane can be expected to reduce motor vehicle-bike #crashes by over 50%. A decade-long look at protected bike lanes in a dozen U.S. cities found that all street users–people in #cars, people #walking, people #biking–experience safety benefits from protected bike lanes.” — from National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO)

@AlaskaWx @extretemps @Climatologist49 @cinderbdt This is mind boggling. Also not welcome news given how much #infrasructure there depends on permafrost.

In other news:

#China is making the laying of sub-sea international #internet cables difficult through or near its territorial waters... partly as a continued regional power play.

But what you might find interesting is the extent of the physical #infrasructure required to ensure international interconnectivity....

you might also wonder how well matched these undersea cables are to previous #shipping routes?
(the answer is quite well aligned).

Map: Apricot & Echo, two cables under construction, will avoid contested waters by cycling around indonesia - white lines represent existing subsea internet cables.

Map shows extensive network (in white) of cables across the Paciifc ocean from West of coast of USA to locations all along the west coast(s) of the Pacific
