Bike lane in the middle of driving lanes.

Whoever designed that should be tar and feathered along with the officials that built that bike lane.

Oh wait a minute, it's New York. :-)


That's a common design with a turn lane, although it is implemented oddly there.



Yes. My downtown has a sort of similar bike lane turn lane. But in the video it seems like the middle of the road bike lane is hundreds of yards long before it gets near the actual turn lane. The one in my town puts the bike lane between the turn lane and straight ahead lane at the very start of the turn lane, only about 25 yards before the traffic light.






https://tinyurl.com/vq2pc8e Go to street view, which shows a bunch of sharrows. https://tinyurl.com/wznut4e It's not a bike lane until you get near the intersection. Frank should like the sharrows -- they advise the cyclist to ride lane-center.
