A new one-way diverter at the intersection of Seventh Avenue and Pennsylvania Street has people scratching their heads.

visited the intersection on September 14 and took video of confused motorists between 3 p.m. and 3:20 p.m., with around a dozen cars using the diverter incorrectly or simply ignoring it to continue onto Seventh. Additional footage was captured on September 15 between 12:30 p.m. and 1:45 p.m. of more than twenty cars doing the same thing. In this same time frame, a little over forty cars obeyed the intersection.

"There's one side of the street that can continue proceeding forward on," he says."And so you can immediately see why that becomes an issue: As a driver, you're coming up, and you see another driver coming down, and they can proceed straight through. So in your mind, it doesn't click that it's a diverter."

In February, 2019, just a few blocks from the Seventh and Penn diverter — at Seventh and Sherman Street — Chen was"left-hooked by an inattentive pickup truck driver." The crash"destroyed my bike and sent me to the ER," he says. "[DOTI] has designed both the diverters at Williams and at Pennsylvania as one-way diverters, and that is not in compliance with not only their guidelines — their own internal guidelines — but also NACTO guidelines," he says, referring to Denver's Complete Streets Design Guidelines released in 2020 and the guidelines of the National Association of City Traffic Officials.
