    Hey OP

    Fuck you, follow traffic rules, speeding and ignoring a red? You’re a horrendous rider. Fuck you, signed by all cyclists who get a bad rap from shit riders like you.

      I took a closer look and that doesn’t look like a traffic light? I’m not actually sure what it is, it’s kind of a red stand alone red bulb. Maybe it’s meant to be a stop sign (but those usually blink), but yeah, take a look at the video one more time at a slower speed and it’s clearly missing the two other lights for it to be a traffic light 🚦

        It’s a fire box. You can actually see a pretty good shot of another one in the first frame of the video. They’re basically public fire alarms with a pull lever, just like you’d find in buildings. When you pull the lever, it automatically alerts the fire department. They pass several throughout the video; Boston is full of them.

          Good to know! I was wondering about that, ironically we don’t seem to have those in CA, or at least not in LA.

            Gamewells were put up before the wide availability of telephones. So, unless you live in an area that was developed prior to that, you wouldn’t see them. The older parts of LA probably still have some gamewells if there are any old telephone poles remaining.

      That’s not a standard stop light. It looks like a globe light that happens to be red - which is admittedly very confusing. What is that thing?

      Is that a red light? Looks more like a red balloon or lamp post thing, but it is kind of grainy.
