    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.

    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.

    This sign(placement withstanding) is 100% for the twonk in the white car, who can’t even stay in lane.

    Independent of that sign, riding your bike on that road would be hell I’m sure basically no one uses it.

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

          There’s no way it’s at the ping you set it to. I’ve been visiting the Harbor for years and that’s not what it looks like. I’d wager it’s Niguel near the Ritz based on fencing, but I didn’t frequent that area as often.

          I can’t even open your ping (edit to add I meant street view not the ping itself), but I know the area to have a much more level topography. Besides extra vegetation and buildings. Was there anything in particular that made you think it was in the Harbor? Or did you just assume?

      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.

        This is one of the laziest excuses for bike infrastructure I’ve ever seen. It looks like it should be temporary, like they haven’t got around to adding dividers yet.

          Whenever a roadway such as this is in gridlock you always see someone being the first to shoot out into the painted section which is unsafe for everyone. Then as soon as that happens you have a full line of people following.

          This is why painted lines should be accompanied by proper roadway design using curbs, medians, and various other traffic calming measures. Unfortunately, the road in this picture like many is over engineered wide from the start.
