"Other side" refers to using the car lane. If you are too frightened to use a car lane you can walk your bike on the sidewalk

Not so much a failure as just real life on the multi-use paths in Ottawa.

Too bad you have to join facebook just to see the image. No thanks, I'm not interested in joining Facebook for any reason.

Cheers

The sign just says "Bike Lane Closed, Use Other Side". Without seeing it in person, I'd think there is a bike lane on the other side of the road. They want you to ride against traffic in the other bike lane. And against other bikes using the other lane. Not ideal, but if the bike lane is wide, then the wrong way bikes would be well away from oncoming cars.

I saw similar bike lanes in Toronto Canada. THere was one on Queens Quay that had the westbound bicycle traffic separated from the eastbound motor traffic by a green line about 3" (7.5cm) wide. Idon't know who designs those facilities but they should be charged with reckless endangerment of bicyclists.

The bike lane is about 18" wide, and filled with debris. The traffic
lanes are 16'. It's a low volume road through an industrial park,
there's no reason even sms would feel unsafe riding in the street.

It's a sign put up by a moron, who is probably not qualified to be
allowed out of the house.

Interesting. This is what was in the dialog box had when I made the link: "You
can use this link to share this photo with anyone, even if they don't have a
Facebook account. Anyone with the link will be able to see your photo."

Same here. Your link prompts me to log on to Facebook and tells me that
I cannot continue without logging on.
