That's a big advantage of a bike lane, you go to the front rather than sit stuck behind a line of cars. I'd like to take a little space from the road hogs. Ideally, I'd like my own signals, or even signal timings, and I'd like exemptions from traffic controls along the lines of "Idaho stops". I'd like to see a reduction in urban areas from the default thickly settled speed limit of 30 mph to a more reasonable 20. Simple stuff that would make cycling safer, more pleasant and more convenient. All good ideas. Turning stop signs into yield signs for bicyclists on low speed roads would be a big help. Sure, that would remove some of the extraneous pedestrians, but it might cost something to clear the bodies from the street. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
