    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 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.
