There's another benefit to cycling from pavement art. It might be
possible to paint 3D speed bumps or a brick border wall on the road.
That should at least placate both sides of the separated bicycle lane
debate. Those in favor of a dedicated bicycle lane will get something
that looks much like obstacles to keep the cars out of the bicycle
lane. Those opposed will get the knowledge that both cars and
bicycles can drive over the border wall or bumps without precipitating
an accident. If there's too much crossing over the 3D border wall,
then installing a few random real obstacles should slow down the
adventurous and make them think twice before crossing.


Quite clever, Jeff. That encapsulates the ethos of the
Administrative State; random fatal impediments.
