Clarence: The Traffic Calming Sasquatch
Taking the Clarence: The Traffic Calming Maniac concept one step further...
This time in Portland, Oregon where Dan Kaufman from Crank My Chain! Cycle TV goes searching for the long lost bigfoot in an area well known for its traffic calming. He stumbles upon the ever-elusive, mythic character and finds that safer streets have coaxed him out of the wild.

Dan Kaufman here in Ladd’s Addition in Portland, Oregon, one of the
most beautifully traffic-calmed areas in the country. We’ve
heard rumours that there’s some creature… hey, wait, there he is. </font></p>
<p> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">[pause]</font> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><i>Dan Kaufman:</i> [00:18]
Hey, hey, wait, I want to talk to you. Hey, come back here.
What’s your name? </font></p>
<p> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><i>Clarence:</i> [00:26]
Clarence.</font></p>
<p> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><i>Dan Kaufman:</i> [00:27]
Clarence. What are you doing here in this neighbourhood?
Bigfoot hasn’t been seen around here for hundreds of years. </font></p>
<p> <br></p>

The traffic calming is very good. It makes me feel safe. </font></p>
<p> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><i>Dan Kaufman:</i> [00:37]
I think he’s talking about traffic calming. Maybe he feels comfortable
here. You feel secure here because there’s traffic calming?</font></p>
<p> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><i>Clarence:</i> [00:47]
Yeah, yeah. Traffic calming, I show you. </font></p>
<p> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><i>Dan Kaufman:</i> [00:51]
Okay. </font></p>
<p> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">[music]</font> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><i>Clarence:</i> [01:10]
So I came down outta the mountains, because the cars were no longer
dangerous. Safer to bike now. </font></p>
<p> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">[music]</font> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><i>Clarence:</i> [01:12]
This here is a traffic circle. Makes cars go slower and in a circle.
Things like this make for more livable streets. It’s safe. </font></p>
<p> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">[music]</font> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><i>Clarence:</i> [01:53]
Look at this… a bicycle amenity!</font></p>
<p> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">[music]</font> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><i>Clarence:</i> [02:36]
Speed hump is very close to my heart. I love the speed hump. </font></p>
<p> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">[music]</font> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><i>Clarence:</i> [03:03]
It’s safe. It’s safe. </font> <br></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">[music]</font></p>
