Who better appreciates DelDOT ... drivers or bicyclists?

Traffic . . . they don't care about us. Ya know, they want the pot holes fixed, yet, they want you out of their way. So . . . you have to deal with it.

Hopefully, DelDOT's crews understand that most of us in the bicycling advocacy community do appreciate their efforts to make our roads safer. Bicyclists even passed a bill that identifies roadside construction workers as vulnerable road users, adding additional penalties.

Here is just a sampling of the many instances where advocates heaped praise on DelDOT for their positive actions:

• First bicycle-friendly rumble strips spotted south of the C&D Canal
• New crosswalk and bike lane at key Ogletown intersection 
• Riders Rejoice: DelDOT's New Sweeping Plan Favors Hot Spots 
• Delaware Ave bike lane restored – thank you DelDOT 
• Recent Progress – Thank you DelDOT 
• Thank you, Cleon Cauley, DelDOT Interim Secretary 
• Help Bike Delaware thank our Legislators, DelDOT 
• Saint Georges Bridge Sweeping – A Letter of Thanks 
• An open letter to Carolann Wicks, DelDOT Secretary 
• DelDOT answers the call, adjusts Brownleaf loop detector

Technicians from DelDOT Traffic adjust a faulty detector at the intersection of Route 273/Brownleaf Road. The signal was not tripping for bicyclists, and was reported by Bike Delaware's then Vice President, Caroline Honse. (photo by Caroline Honse).
