is roads without enormous sharp-edged holes in them! (what part of "fix the roads" doesn't Greg understand?) AFT |

Fun with sharrows
|
|
|
Sharrows can be ok, although at least 30% of time I consider riding on sharrows a death trap (e.g., 45th, 85th). But thanks, J, for reposting my favorite SDOT graphic! To summarize: Motorists: Follow the rules of the road as if there were no sharrows Bicyclists: Follow the rules of the road as if there were no sharrows Sigh. |

Just saw a painting crew drive by

I just saw a couple SDOT painting trucks drive by (down 16th) - I'm about to hop on my bike - perhaps they are about to start on the sharrows on 15th... I'm excited - the sharrows down E Boston St between Volunteer Park and 10th Ave will be an improvement. Hopefully they can fill some of the huge holes in the road while they're there too. |

sharrows
|

Sharrows are an amzing waste of money and resources, and do little to nothing for bicyclists. ALL ROADS ARE OPEN TO BICYCLES AT ALL TIMES! Sharrows, supposedly designed to remind drivers of this, are a boondoggle and taxpayer money waste. What really would help safety and biking in general is separated traffic zones. instead, we get sharrows. and, as is typical, people swoon about the genius of it all. think about it, people: ALL ROADS are designed for multi-purpose use. The city is too cheap to paint zebra crossings at intersections, so instead, ALL intersections are pedestrian crossings......jsut like all roads are bicycle roads.... Which begs the question: why pain anything on them? why not put up signs, and enforce laws, instead? Crasy |

RE: sharrows

I agree completely with Chris that sharrows are a huge waste of money and add nothing to bicycle safety. Once more, the designs of the sharrow graphic and the bike lane graphic are almost identical, and just confuse drivers. It would be interesting to know what this boondoggle is costing taxpayers. I think the money would be much better spent on additional designated bike lanes. |
