I don't have a pic handy, and it wouldn't matter anyway, since it's traffic dynamics that make a bike lane worthwhile, but the one I'm thinking of runs along the gutter of what was at one point in time the very busiest road in the state. *Most "cyclists" are scared ****less to ride the road at all (this "fact" is published), and I've had my share of close calls there, but since it's the only best most direct route for along way to where I need to get to, I ride it regularly. The bike lane is rough and debris-strewn and has some nasty standing water and buses stop in it and there are like a zillion driveways with lots of traffic pulling in and out, but without that bike lane allowing me to stay mostly out of the way of a million impatient cagers, I would go another way. *Take it FWIW. I think you missed the phrase "beyond the added width." If you remove the stripe, you have as much pavement in which to "stay mostly out of the way." You'd have less debris too, which probably means more available room. The stripe adds no room. - Frank Krygowski |
