SEATTLE -- One week after it was officially placed into service, the new South Lake Union Streetcar on Wednesday had its first accident involving another vehicle.

 

The streetcar collided with an SUV about 7:45 a.m. near the intersection of Mercer Street and Terry Avenue.

 

Seattle Police Captain Steve Brown said the driver of the SUV ran a red light while the streetcar was crossing the intersection.

 

No one was injured in the collision and the streetcar was moved from the intersection shortly after 8 a.m.

 

"It did some superficial damage on the front," Brown said. "It's a high-tonnage vehicle, so likely not much damage at all."

 

Brown said the streetcar will be back in service as soon as it's inspected by Metro officials.

 

It's not the first hitch the streetcar has encountered. Last Wednesday the streetcar had to be stopped after a ball bearing was found jammed into one of the tracks.

 

The 1.3 mile line has 11 stops where the streetcar passes every 15 minutes. From the Westlake location, it heads to Fairview Avenue North and Ward Street, and then back around.

#26) "The Seattle Merge"

 

Drive to the end of the interstate on-ramp, slow down to near stop, merge into traffic, get rear ended and blame the other guy for "not letting you merge."

#32) "Brake for Pedestrians"

 

When traveling on 40+ mph arterials, if you spot a pedestrian on the sidewalk and said pedestrian merely glances toward the street (even though they are nowhere near a crosswalk) slam on your brakes as hard as you possibly can! Thus causing numerous rear enders because well, you know, we always yield to pedestrians (as opposed to aiming for them as is commonly done east of the Rockies).

#46) "proper speed"

 

Though must always drive 10 mph under the speed limit (20 mph in a work zone) unless you are within 300m of a traffic light turning yellow. At this point gun it, but be sure thy vehicle enters the intersection after the light turns red.

this is the stupidest thread evar you wankjobs

#57) "local rules"

 

Seattlans don't see anything wrong with their driving and are offended when you insult their incompetence.

[Hugh Conway]

Seattle is worse than Portland (I believe because Portland has a higher % of Californians as well as a lower % of greencards)

[olyclimber]

When the light turns green, count to 15 in the language of your Icelandic boyhood before stepping on the gas.
