Interesting: Any driver convicted of aggravated reckless driving or going more than 20 mph over the speed limit in D.C. can now be required to install an Intelligent Speed Assistance Program – basically, a tool that prevents them from going more than 5 mph over the limit.

Yes. But…I got all the text and I’m slowly reposting everything at blogger. So if you go to the link it still takes you to a form of the blog, but one mostly without photos. And still way behind.

The speed limit is 30. Even with that hill, I'm skeptical that a 58-year old cyclist was exceeding that. It seems like they're trying to blame him for not being in the bike lane - but that's not illegal so they pulled up this thing.

A ticket for not riding "as close as safely practicable to the right curb or edge of the roadway" is suspect as well. I've never heard of anyone being ticketed for that. If they'd been farther to the right - they could still be hit by a driver turning left and not looking for them.

The cyclist was going east on Wilson (seen below) and the driver was turning left onto Manchester (Which I assume they were moving west on Wilson?) How can it possibly be the cyclists fault? They should have the right-of-way.

The Centreville Road sidepath is good. Too bad that Google maps doesn’t know it exists yet.

It connects to the trail on the other side of I-495 for one. Also, I did bike Georgetown Pike - not great but doable. Also you build a network the same way you eat an elephant, one piece at a time

It appears to dead end near the GW Parkway. Excellent.

It goes north of Live Oak Road but isn’t finished yet. Not sure where it will end when work is done. (I don’t have a photo of the end because my phone died).

And then this is the section north of Georgetown Road. It’s on the East side of I-495.
