    If it’s California that’s legally required. I know bicyclists in California are unfamiliar with the concept of laws, but that’s how they work.

      There’s a dotted line when a car lane crosses a bike lane. That is not in every intersection. I agree we need to standardize and dummy proof stuff more but there’s only so much you can do with drivers who think it’s okay to turn the shoulder into an extra lane during a highway backup.

          I think you may be the only person in the state to have read that, also the dotted lines need to extend that far then. Their entire purpose is to visually represent that area.

              We’ll yeah, you’re kind of supposed to follow the lines. The entire point of them is to be a visual indicator, especially in border areas where you get a lot of people from out of state/country driving. It’s the agreed principle that keeps car accidents from happening.

      woe is you thinking the bike lane is anything more than an extended turn lane, especially outside of California.

      we should all be more like Frayedpickles here and mow down the bikes in the bike only lane, teach them that they should keep their weak aluminum a-frames off our glorious car lanes.

        I don’t get this reaction. Cars should be in the bike lane for turning because after dooring the most common way to get injured is getting hooked by a turning car. Where I live we don’t really have bike lanes, but when you do have them cars don’t tend to look for you passing and turn as soon as they are signaled to do so.

          just like school shootings, this seems to not be an issue in the rest of the world.
