[quote=Anonymous]I am not a cyclist but I am a pedestrian and I love protected bike lanes like this because they provide a true buffer between traffic and the sidewalk and also because they also keep me safer from both rogue cyclists and rogue drivers -- I can cross the bike lane separately from the road which allows me to separate the process of looking for a cyclist barreling down on me about to run a stop sign AND the process of allowing the extra 5-10 second needed to allow all the cars that are going to run the red or turn without signallng or whatever to go. Painted bike lanes are the worst because they just add a lane of a different kind of traffic but don't actually force both drivers and cyclists to obey any traffic rules. So as a pedestrian they just become another tool people use to ignore and endanger you.[/quote]
