[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Ok- so what would help bike lines become more useable? A barrier (like they have in some turn lanes) to separate bike lines from cars? It just seems like such a waste to have a lane & not have bikes be able to use it. [/quote] 1. Protection - flexposts, curbs, parked cars 2. Wider lanes so its easier to ride away from doors 3. More lanes not next to parked cars 4. More enforcement and education relative to dooring so drivers look more carefully before opening doors Absent all that, an unused bike lane is not necessarily a waste. Local govts often put them in to narrow the road, and get cars to go slower, for the safety of pedestrians and other drivers. Not necessarily to make a facility good for cyclists. Alternatively they could paint parking spots to narrow the through part of the road - but when parking spots are empty people will sometimes drive through them. [/quote]
