Eastbound traffic on Division is hurrying toward the traffic circle at Eighth and Townsend streets. Some westbound motor traffic makes its way across a bike lane to turn north onto Ninth Street toward the Civic Center. Pedestrians, meanwhile, are forced to cross an unusually wide, uncontrolled intersection that features limited sight lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency officials say the intersection is a hot spot for collisions between turning drivers and bicyclists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/about-sfmta/blog/sf%E2%80%99s-first-%E2%80%98protected-intersection%E2%80%99-break-ground-9th-and-division\" target=\"_blank\">blog post\u003c/a>, the SFMTA's Ben Jose explained the protected intersection:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Protected intersections use a simple design concept to make everyone safer. Under this configuration, features like concrete islands placed at the corners slow turning cars and physically separate people biking and driving.

Eastbound traffic on Division is hurrying toward the traffic circle at Eighth and Townsend streets. Some westbound motor traffic makes its way across a bike lane to turn north onto Ninth Street toward the Civic Center. Pedestrians, meanwhile, are forced to cross an unusually wide, uncontrolled intersection that features limited sight lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency officials say the intersection is a hot spot for collisions between turning drivers and bicyclists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/about-sfmta/blog/sf%E2%80%99s-first-%E2%80%98protected-intersection%E2%80%99-break-ground-9th-and-division\" target=\"_blank\">blog post\u003c/a>, the SFMTA's Ben Jose explained the protected intersection:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Protected intersections use a simple design concept to make everyone safer.

In 2013, there were 171 severe injury collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City transportation planners studied more than 2,000 collisions involving pedestrians in recent years and found that 60 percent of severe injuries and deaths occur on just 6 percent of streets, mostly in the Tenderloin, South of Market and North Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of those streets are \u003ca href=\"http://www.smartgrowthamerica.org/research/dangerous-by-design/dbd2014/national-overview/\">dangerous by design\u003c/a>, say advocates, and encourage speed and bad driving behavior.

(KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I love it when data, or alleged data, attempts to shed light on \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">what we take to be the real world\u003c/a>. So here’s a brand-new survey that shows that San Francisco is one of the most courteous cities in the country when it comes to driving. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/roadrage.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AutoVantage Driver’s Seat Road Rage Survey\u003c/a>, which was conducted in late March and early April, found that drivers in Portland, Pittsburgh and St. Louis were more courteous than those in San Francisco; Charlotte motorists were No. 5 in driving courtesy. The rankings are based on a) what drivers report seeing other drivers do on the road (speeding, running red lights, texting, and such) and the kind of road-rage behavior they admit to (cursing other drivers, flipping them off and other acts of endearment). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portland ranks first, the survey says, because drivers there are least likely to honk the horn at another driver, least likely to speed, and least likely to cut off other drivers with stupid lane changes. (My observation, from driving a little in the Beaver State, is that drivers there don’t change lanes at all and may not know about automotive devices like horns and accelerators. On the other hand, the first Road Rage survey, five years ago, also ranked Portland at the top of the courtesy list, so maybe drivers up north really are that polite.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/Road-Rage/San-Francisco.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AutoVantage says San Francisco drivers\u003c/a> are least likely to have talked on their cellphone while driving, and second least likely to observe another driver doing the same; they’re the fourth least likely to have observed another driver tailgating. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The least courteous driving cities? \u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/Road-Rage/Houston.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Houston is reported to be the worst\u003c/a>, the survey says, with drivers being the most likely to see another driver cutting them off and most likely to admit performing this behavior, most likely to see someone else slam on their brakes and most likely to admit talking on their phones while driving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rest of the Discourtesy Top 5: Atlanta, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Boston. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The casual statistician in me doesn’t put a lot of stock in these rankings. I would guess that the sample size — 2,500 drivers across the entire United States — might allow one to come to general conclusions about national trends but would be unlikely to provide much really meaningful information about each of the 25 cities the report says were surveyed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And although, yes, I have a little swelling of pride when I read that my native \u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/Road-Rage/Chicago.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago is ninth least courteous\u003c/a>, with drivers there being the most likely to curse or shake their fists at other drivers, the findings for San Francisco — \u003cem>drivers least likely to have talked on the phone while at the wheel\u003c/em> — just don’t seem to jibe with what I see every day on the streets. Which is, in short, all sorts of \u003ca href=\"http://theoatmeal.com/pl/minor_differences/cutting_off\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the kind of jerky behavior\u003c/a> that I assume goes along with driving a car anywhere. I plead occasionally guilty to the above-named offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true that these are relative findings: Fewer San Francisco drivers say they talk on the phone while driving compared to Houston, for instance (a finding that may reveal Houston as a capital of honesty and self-knowledge). I’m not driving in all those other cities, so maybe San Francisco really is more courteous. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But courtesy in this case doesn’t equate with safety. And we’ve got the numbers to back that up, with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/07/san-francisco-records-seventh-pedestrian-fatality-of-2014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at least seven pedestrians killed\u003c/a> by vehicles so far this year. \u003c/p>\n\n",

So here’s a brand-new survey that shows that San Francisco is one of the most courteous cities in the country when it comes to driving. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/roadrage.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AutoVantage Driver’s Seat Road Rage Survey\u003c/a>, which was conducted in late March and early April, found that drivers in Portland, Pittsburgh and St. Louis were more courteous than those in San Francisco; Charlotte motorists were No. 5 in driving courtesy. The rankings are based on a) what drivers report seeing other drivers do on the road (speeding, running red lights, texting, and such) and the kind of road-rage behavior they admit to (cursing other drivers, flipping them off and other acts of endearment). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portland ranks first, the survey says, because drivers there are least likely to honk the horn at another driver, least likely to speed, and least likely to cut off other drivers with stupid lane changes. (My observation, from driving a little in the Beaver State, is that drivers there don’t change lanes at all and may not know about automotive devices like horns and accelerators. On the other hand, the first Road Rage survey, five years ago, also ranked Portland at the top of the courtesy list, so maybe drivers up north really are that polite.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/Road-Rage/San-Francisco.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AutoVantage says San Francisco drivers\u003c/a> are least likely to have talked on their cellphone while driving, and second least likely to observe another driver doing the same; they’re the fourth least likely to have observed another driver tailgating. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The least courteous driving cities? \u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/Road-Rage/Houston.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Houston is reported to be the worst\u003c/a>, the survey says, with drivers being the most likely to see another driver cutting them off and most likely to admit performing this behavior, most likely to see someone else slam on their brakes and most likely to admit talking on their phones while driving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I would guess that the sample size — 2,500 drivers across the entire United States — might allow one to come to general conclusions about national trends but would be unlikely to provide much really meaningful information about each of the 25 cities the report says were surveyed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And although, yes, I have a little swelling of pride when I read that my native \u003ca href=\"http://www.autovantage.com/Road-Rage/Chicago.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago is ninth least courteous\u003c/a>, with drivers there being the most likely to curse or shake their fists at other drivers, the findings for San Francisco — \u003cem>drivers least likely to have talked on the phone while at the wheel\u003c/em> — just don’t seem to jibe with what I see every day on the streets. Which is, in short, all sorts of \u003ca href=\"http://theoatmeal.com/pl/minor_differences/cutting_off\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the kind of jerky behavior\u003c/a> that I assume goes along with driving a car anywhere. I plead occasionally guilty to the above-named offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true that these are relative findings: Fewer San Francisco drivers say they talk on the phone while driving compared to Houston, for instance (a finding that may reveal Houston as a capital of honesty and self-knowledge). I’m not driving in all those other cities, so maybe San Francisco really is more courteous. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But courtesy in this case doesn’t equate with safety.
