Dangerous bike lane obstructions in Redwood City
ISTM that there is rarely any bike lane benefit compared to
a wide outside lane without the bike lane stripe ....
=v= The wide outside lane (WOL) was piloted in San Francisco.
They had two effects:
(1) Wide lane! I'll double-park my car in it!
(2) Wide lane! I'll drive my car faster!
These effects don't work very well with each other, and for
bicyclists they are pretty much a worst-case scenario.
=v= I'm not saying bike lanes are better, but WOLs have not
proven themselves to be anything but a failure.
