Apples to apples, this does not really apply to SF or even most of the Bay Area.
Perhaps all of Texas, Arizona or NM.
Not here.
I hope some smart Alec SF supe does not get any ideas, reading this.
The bulb-outs at the intersections [1], the rules-dont-apply-to-us cyclists [2], the abundance of parklets and dedicated Muni lanes are already making driving in SF a hugely cumbersome affair. If it isn't already, with its 20%+ grade roads [3].
From my experience living in SF, drivers here are not the most skilled as it is. This will only worsen things.
If Mr. Wiener catches wind of this, I'm certain he will call for miniature lanes, like when he called for miniature firetrucks, when firefighters expressed concern over the width of streets. [4]
