    I’m not sure I get what you’re saying, or what I’m missing.

    I’m talking about the most basic kind of bike lane, which by all means is just a line on the tarmac. It does however ensure that the bike has a place to be, and that the bike will be visible to the cars, because the bike lane’s stopping line is further ahead than that of the cars. I also don’t know the exact situation from the article, but if the bike had been at the stopping line in this bike lane, it would never conflict with a right turning ambulance.

      Why bother doing all that, saying you dont understand when you could have just watched the video lmao.

      Get out sometime, see what things look like in the world instead of drawing images in your own little view.

        I still don’t have any clue about what part of my comment you object against, or why you’re so fucking negative about it.

        All I’m saying is that the right turn accident was completely preventable by making a simple painted line on the tarmac, as it is done in many places where there isn’t room for the kind of huge separated bike lanes as shown in your photo.
