A better world is possible. Cyclists and car drivers agree: sharing infra is not the solution. Cyclists need dedicated bike lanes with physical barriers separating them from cars.
- BrissyCoder 5y agoShortening infrastructure to just infra is extremely annoying imo.
- rahimnathwani 5y agoRight, but: - the easiest way to create a separate lane for cyclists would be to repurpose the lane that's currently used for parking - most car drivers see on-street parking as a right
- insickness 5y agoExactly. I live in a suburb of New Jersey and almost all of the roads have zero bike lanes with no shoulder or a shoulder that is supposed to double as a bike lane. At many points while driving, I need to swerve to the left of the double yellow line to give bikers leeway. I used to live in New York City and even there I am amazed at how few bike lanes there are. 7th avenue south going past Penn Station has no bike lane, yet the road is seven lanes wide. Plenty of room to put in a protected bike lane.
