There is a bike path, but... 🤷

Two steps forward, one step back. :)

Bratislava: čo vzniklo v roku 2022

Napriek pomerne veľkému počtu rozbehnutých projektov mesta na výstavbu kvalitných oddelených cyklotrás sa ani v roku 2022 nedostala žiadna z nich do realizačnej fázy. Najbližšie k realizácii sú zrejme cyklotrasy na Mlynských nivách, Hradskej či O4 v Petržalke. Samostatné cestičky V tejto kategórii "pribudla" len jedna trasa realizovaná mestom, aj to je len (takmer) kozmetická...

@ticho @notjustbikes Imagine doing that with an actual road. Would anyone stand for it?

This is one of my personal ideas about bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure: it needs to be treated as a first class means of transportation rather than an afterthought. If you wouldn't do it to a road for cars, don't do it with a road for bicycles or people. This kind of monstrosity shows how much designers have internalized the idea that transportation other than cars is second class.

A glaring example of this kind of thinking from my neck of the woods:

@VATVSLPR @ticho @notjustbikes I would have so moved that sign 1m to the left if I had encountered it.

It does require a tiny bit of context. There was some construction work ahead that blocked the bicycle lane, so there did need to be some warning. Putting it where they did just shows they aren't really thinking about bicycles as cars' equals.

@VATVSLPR @revk @notjustbikes Wow, that is hilarious (not in a good way), thanks!
