They move cyclists quickly, in a direct route, to a location that they can then get on smaller roads to finish their trip. They have been used for a long time in Europe and I guess we will see how people use and accept them here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12647549535857711041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581728941847065596.post-85296462244628366362010-04-23T08:59:08.778-04:002010-04-23T08:59:08.778-04:00It's nice to see a city give so much attention...It's nice to see a city give so much attention to cyclists needs. I think I would be more receptive to bike lanes if in addition to the bike lanes, sharrows were put on all the other lanes. <br /><br />These lanes would be nice if someone was running an errand or just wanted a nice ride through town (which I imagine would be most riders), but if you are trying to get somewhere quickly, having to stop at a bicycle box for a left turn would be a pain rather than just flowing with traffic in regular lanes.<br /><br />I think these would be really great for arterials in the suburbs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
