    If they tell you it’s not safe to put their equipment in the buffer zone, ask why it would be safe to send a human through there on a bike.

    It is orange they can do whatever they want to the bikelane. Almost every day I have to avoid someone doing construction… if it was a road they would put up signs and provide detours or flagmen but a bike path is for decoration not bikes in their mind.

    I’d gladly move that bullshit to the slashed out lane in between, and if I happened to get arrested, I’d be proud to speak to the judge about it.

    “Your honor, there was an obstacle in the bike lane”

      You aren’t allowed to stop, stand, or drive on a surface marked like the buffer zone between the bike lane and the cars. You are right. That’s exactly where this sign should have been placed

      I bet whoever placed it, just understands dropping off trailers with their work truck and probably hasn’t even thought through how a bike lane works.

    Ya I guess drivers have to be extra alert for bikers considering these fucks are blocking the bike lane forcing them to go around into traffic. Brilliant.

    That’s the longest bike lane I’ve ever seen.

      I would say that’s what many urban roads (35 mph / 60 km/h) look like in the US.

      Not to mention the sidewalk, why do we have sidewalks along highway speed roads?

      There should be a complete buffer zone along roadways like this. Things such as planters, dividers or trees. Sidewalks should be plesent to walk along, same for bike ways.

      Trouble is in north America all roadways are “strodes” (neither a street or a road) or a highways. We need better classification systems to differentiate between a street, a road, a highspeed road, a highway, and a interstate.
