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.
This is one of the laziest excuses for bike infrastructure I’ve ever seen. It looks like it should be temporary, like they haven’t got around to adding dividers yet.
Whenever a roadway such as this is in gridlock you always see someone being the first to shoot out into the painted section which is unsafe for everyone. Then as soon as that happens you have a full line of people following.
This is why painted lines should be accompanied by proper roadway design using curbs, medians, and various other traffic calming measures. Unfortunately, the road in this picture like many is over engineered wide from the start.
