The gravel is plenty, it's an intuitive border between where the cars are supposed and not supposed to go. Even sleepy drivers will stay off of the walking path that way.
There's much better options, but it's good to have something :::
Have you seen the issues with the 50's? I'm voting to skip until na-euv is widespread
I've recently been seeing news of some American neighborhoods actually getting bike lanes though. As in: a second "mini road" next to the main road.
Let's hope further progress can be made!
Can this hype train pass already?
On an American road it makes sense. You want to claim more space for your own safety. Which should be fine, in most places in the us bicycles are legally no different from a truck when it comes to traffic rules.
In germany, you have traffic lights that give cars green before bicycles finish passing the road.
And also, there's no darn orange to warn cyclists to stop. You come in at speed and the light just instantly go from green to red.
And on top of that, some bicycle paths just end in a highway with no indication or warning.
German cycling infrastructure is bad
Yooo, I'm moving in!
I'm concerned how they're now trying to normalize not having control over the things you own. Especially since their printers are popular with influencers
Most people are lazy, or don't even come up with the idea to do a web search. When they do, most non-techies don't know or struggle to write an effective search query
thoughts?
A road network does need to be consistent. It's not an exact analog, but it's kind of a "weakest link" situation. It's needlessly dangerous and frustrating for everyone to have to deal with bad infrastructure, even if it's just one weird street that everyone still has to cross.
I have one on my way to work. I just get off my bicycle and walk because the alternative is going trough a tonne of traffic in an intersection of two highways.
