๐๐ฒ@glightly If these were #EdgeLaneRoads, drivers would be able to pass as long as there's not a car coming in the other direction. It's a better way to share the space when people on bikes are going both ways and cars who don't like it don't come back if they can avoid it. #InducedDemand ๐
This #chokePoint is how you combine #trafficCalming and safer #crosswalks, with more cost-effective #EdgeLaneRoads. Instead of #YellowCenterlines forcing people on bikes to "share" with cars, two-way car traffic shares one center lane. The #AdvisoryBikeLanes can be used for two drivers to pass each other, but by default, those spaces are dedicated to people walking and biking. (SW 45th, #SWTFpdx, so many streets need this, not blinking lights and victim-blaming.)
