So tired of cars driving in the bike lane.

Funny, but it could have been tragic if it had been a weekend when that
sidewalk is open to bicycles (on weekdays cyclists have to share the
east sidewalk with pedestrians).

I've been at that spot many times. There is a parking lot at the end and
I guess I can see how someone who is drunk could get confused.

San Francisco is a city with more traffic than road space. Not only does that mean that cars have to share the road with cyclists but that you have to share the road with them. For every stupid annoying driver I've seen in SF I've see three cyclists worse.

As a rule I've ridden in extremely heavy traffic in town and have wondered at how conditions could be that bad and yet the majority of drivers that polite.

Are things perfect? No, but try riding on the east end of Sacramento where they think that bicycles are toys that belong on the sidewalk and don't mind pushing them there.

Imagine if that guy had been center span, driving in the far left lane with nothing to protect him from on-coming traffic except those low, plastic pickets. I drove over the bridge on Thanksgiving and got a quick refresher on how narrow the lanes are, particularly on that twisting section of 101 just north of the bridge. Many of the downtown streets are two lanes each way -- if you happen to be driving a model-T. The massive Armada/Navigator/Canyonero ahead of me straddled both lanes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZeFDe44Ddo It made me feel better about the inadequate infrastructure in PDX.

yeah going south is a lot like 229.

BRDIGE FEVER !

There was a similar case of an OAP in Germany. He was trapped in his
car and had to be rescued with a crane IIRC.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

42 CAL 42 not 229....Inexplicable, why Cal Hiway Design drove the ONE turn from the right side, not the left side going south. Incroyable.

If you look at

it's easy to see how an impaired driver could end up on the sidewalk. In
fact full size vehicles do go down that section, but not all the way
across the bridge.
