Oh, hi America!

You’re right, you shouldn’t have to. That doesn’t mean you can’t use your brain and consider the situation. No need for violence

A road network does need to be consistent. It’s not an exact analog, but it’s kind of a “weakest link” situation. It’s needlessly dangerous and frustrating for everyone to have to deal with bad infrastructure, even if it’s just one weird street that everyone still has to cross.

I have one on my way to work. I just get off my bicycle and walk because the alternative is going trough a tonne of traffic in an intersection of two highways.

Well, at least you know where to check now

The gravel is plenty, it’s an intuitive border between where the cars are supposed and not supposed to go. Even sleepy drivers will stay off of the walking path that way.

There’s much better options, but it’s good to have something :::

I’ve recently been seeing news of some American neighborhoods actually getting bike lanes though. As in: a second “mini road” next to the main road.

Let’s hope further progress can be made!

Can this hype train pass already?

On an American road it makes sense. You want to claim more space for your own safety. Which should be fine, in most places in the us bicycles are legally no different from a truck when it comes to traffic rules.

In germany, you have traffic lights that give cars green before bicycles finish passing the road.

And also, there’s no darn orange to warn cyclists to stop. You come in at speed and the light just instantly go from green to red.

And on top of that, some bicycle paths just end in a highway with no indication or warning.

German cycling infrastructure is bad

Is it also the first time they looked?

Had it for quite a while, in case you didn’t notice

You close the tab, and block the domain completely

I’m no artist but it’s something
