Great example. I've seen drivers swerve into the bike lane when convenient far too frequently. This also shows that planners often try to make dangerous roads

Great example. I've seen drivers swerve into the bike lane when convenient far too frequently.
This also shows that planners often try to make dangerous roads less dangerous, when they instead should often instead push for cyclists to take entirely different paths than drivers. The planners are thinking like drivers, wanting to take the most direct route, when in my experience cyclists will gladly take a less direct route if it's much safer.
