JoJo Pewsawang reports on the opening of L.A.'s first green bike lanes:

"Merging areas and bus zones along First Street were colorized using green thermoplastic. The green colorization was applied on select areas along the 1.6 mile long bike lanes that stretch between Boyle Avenue to Lorena Street. Colorization has been shown to be affective in other jurisdictions at increasing motorist's yielding behavior, improving bicyclist visibility, and increasing perceived safety for bicyclists."
