turn lanes where they don't fit



D: pic 1 is Father David Bauer and Erb.
2 is Caroline and William.
3 is (Kitchener) Westmount and Glasgow.

In each case, extra-narrow lanes only hold a car. They are side-by -side with another narrow lane.
Any cyclist foolish enough not to jump onto the sidewalk will get MASHED.

Guess what? We have suggested lane widths for a REASON.

Stuffing a bike lane on the straight stretch but not extending it to the intersection is NOT a bike lane. It is a waste of time. I will redraw the map of city uptown bike lanes tomorrow to illustrate that most of the bike lanes are de facto NOT THERE.

Who is the engineer that designs this stuff?! I guarantee he doesn't use a bicycle...
GRR>.

If there isn't room for an extra lane then DON'T BUILD ONE!!!!!!
I cannot believe Glasgow gets that much traffic.
It is a suburb with a school, and presumably would not want much thru-traffic.
