And that lane is a bike lane
bike lanes without protection from cars are fucking terrifying
There is a bike lane in our city that‘s barely a meter wide, not protected from cars and has parking spaces right next to it. If you don‘t keep a meter distance to the parked cars and someone opens a door and you crash into it, your partly at fault. However cars driving on your left are supposed to keep 1.5 meters distance or they aren‘t allowed to pass. They however do not care at all and will pass you even if there are just a few centimeters of space and if you say something, you‘re the asshole.
At least the city already has plans to widen the bike lane. Hopefully they‘ll get rid of the parking spaces. Those shouldn’t be on main roads anyway imo.
That’s right, don’t settle for less!
Lets put trams instead of a lane
yes
The mixup is when cities rip out rail for pedestrian and bike paths.
Five lane one way road? No problem. Adjacent rail line? That’s gotta go for those pesky cyclists and footwalkers.
We had the starting of the building of bike lanes, until they stopped due to outrage from the store owners. Cars could no longer illegally park to the side of the lane to get to their stores.
Traffic is a bit more complicated than that. Without typing an entire essay, the short answer is that more lanes doesn’t mean less traffic. There’s a thing called induced demand that more or less shows that sometimes more lanes means more traffic, not less. The only real “solution” to traffic is better public transportation
(that’s the joke)
