Was visiting a wisconsin town this weekend and observed this nightmare-ish bike lane configuration… the road’s speed limit is 25mph, but has a massive 500’ acceleration lane. Gonna guess how many people actually obey the speed limit here?
The dashed lines denoting merging across the bike lane are a whopping 482 feet long!
I wonder if they made the lane long to allow for more merging options with the bike lane. I wouldn’t want to be in that bike lane, but it may be safer with a longer lane ( at least in theory).
It’s possible. However, all that is lost if drivers are doing more than double the speed limit.
