Paint only does nothing
The other day I was on my way to buy some groceries when I saw something undesirable that I was expecting for some time.
I saw many cross calls in the past, but that day Is aw it first hand: bikes are force to cross over a bikeway in a non-standard way, and one bicycle was trapped beneath a car because the driver wasn’t paying attention.
Painting a bikeway is very flashy, but it doesn’t change anything if other users aren’t paying attention. Not to mention that over time that pain washes away. Plus this is not an standard crossing.
Some ideas for better solutions are keeping all crossings standard, making sure that turning cars don’t follow the same traffic light as the traffic going ahead, and keep bikeways physically separated from roads, especially at intersections.
PS: nobody suffered life threatening injuries, but the bicycle rear wheel and frame were destroyed.
