    🙄 they could have closed half a lane, you see that all the time. They felt the need to have extra space, just as the cyclists feel when riding in the bike lane. If you want to say that bike lanes could be wider, just say that… the debate bro energy doesn’t lead to anything

      Functionally there is no difference between them closing half the lane and closing the full lane because cars still can’t use half a lane. Closing half would therefore be really dumb as it only invites confusion.

        Half a lane gives some space to merge, it’s super common around construction sites idk what to tell you
