One more detail.

In the downhill direction, ride quickly as the duration for downward travel is limited. There is usually enough time to make it through but only if you ride briskly and go shortly after the light turns. The consequences of entering late can also be nasty as you will encounter oncoming traffic with no place to escape.

Cheers,

Rob

Dan Bergenthal asked me to convey to you all who ride Emigration that the new construction signals are in place for widening the road.

IMPORTANT:

Going down hill, STOP at the light if it is red, you WILL encounter oncoming traffic uphill. This is VERY dangerous for you and just irritates the locals even more.

Uphill, ride on the right of the barrels as you will not make it in time for the light change.

On the positive side, Dan reports that the city section will have quality full bike lanes with 1' shoulder to boot when construction is complete.
