fine, high speed controlled access freeways may have been built only for cars. But even in that case a regular service road parallel to it is still a much better solution that a bicycle path. I sometimes ride in such a service road.
- kingosticks 7y agoA dedicated bicycle lane next to a busy multiple-lane road is often better than a service road because it's (hopefully) properly maintained, not strewn with bits of broken cars and doesn't stop suddenly at each junction. I would ride in such a service road if the alternative was a freeway but only as the lesser of two evils. There's also the problem of busy junctions within settlements that are designed around cars. This is another example of where alternative bicycle-centric lanes and signalling are much better suited than the regular road.
