Bike Stoplight

One of my minor pet peeves is the bad habit of bike trails to have awkward spots that spit you out on the wrong side of the road or otherwise lead people to do bad things like ride the wrong way on the sidewalk to get from one side to its continuation.

This spot on the new section of the San Tomas Creek Trail is a delightful exception, as there is a clearly defined way to get from the trail on one side of the creek to the other. If you blow up the picture, you'll see that the lights on the special stoplight for bikes are bicycle-shaped :)
