Interestingly, the bike lane shown in the first picture of the article rather marks the region that by German law cyclists are required to avoid. Cyclists are required to keep about a meter distance from parked cars to prevent dooming. That of course does not stop local authorities from creating bike lines exactly as shown in the article :(.
- adrianN 10y agoDo you have a citation for that law? It's the first time I hear about it.
- _ph_ 10y agoIt is not an explicit number in the law, but deducting from the requirements of driving safely, the bicyclists have to keep a distance from the right side of the road, especially from parked cars. There have been court rulings which require this to be 1m or more. You can find a bit about it here: http://pdeleuw.de/fahrrad/stvo.html http://pdeleuw.de/fahrrad/stvo.html
