The line before the crosswalk that the “stop here for pedestrians sign” is pointing to is the last legal stopping location for that crosswalk. Pedestrians are vulnerable roadway users so give them that extra space by the crosswalks to make them feel more comfortable.
If the line feels a little close you can stop farther back.

Salem has a new buffered bike lane that continues along Commercial St SE. The bike lane used to only continue along Sunnyside RD. Now there is green paint at the conflict point to help bicyclists traveling south to not get hit.

Car yield to bikes continuing forward and cross where the green paint is broken.

Our road infrastructure does not handle the Oregon State Fair traffic very well.

Who’s been stuck in traffic this last week?!

In Oregon I see this mistake every day:
People turning for the bike lane.
You should clear the bike lane before you start your right turn.

This is not the rule is all states, but best practice would not have cars drive in the bike lane.

This intersection has two clear instructions:
Stop at the line.
No turn on red.

Ignoring either one puts pedestrians and yourself at risk. ignoring both is even worse.
Reading the signs matters.

The new turn lanes coming out of the Salem Costco roundabout onto Kuebler Blvd were causing some confusion last week, but the city has added a dashed line!

If you’re turning right from the left turn lane, stay in the left lane as you complete your turn. Don’t drift across into the right lane.

Turn into your lane. Don’t change lanes in the middle of the turn. Stay on your side of the dash line.

Pay attention. Prevent crashes.
Read signs. Follow signs.
It’s pretty simple.

Construction zones can get a little confusing when the normal traffic controls don’t apply.

When flaggers are controlling an intersection, follow their directions. In this case, that means I can continue through the flashing red light when the flagger tells me to go. You’ll even notice the stop signs are covered.

Still slow down, watch for pedestrians, and pay attention to everything happening around you.

And be nice to the construction workers! They’re standing in traffic trying to keep everyone safe and keep things moving.
