Advocacy & Safety - Best practice for ending car lane/beginning bike lane

Someone locally brought up that the way one particular bike lane starts is not in standard design books. Well the problem is this bike lane is starting when a car lane ends so there is a diagonal line indicating the car lane merge and the bike lane on the other side of this diagonal.

Anyway you folks have been helpful in the past in showing off what you are doing. So I am curious if anyone is doing anything different.

I am not familiar with these so called 'car lanes.' :)

OK this has come up before... what do you want to call the rest of the road where motorists typically drive their vehicles between the designated stripes? I have seen the term "traveled way" and "Car Lane."

AZ Statutes call them 'vehicular traffic lanes'

Not perfect, due to varied definitions of bicycle as 'device' or 'bicycle driver granted all of the rights and is subject to all of the duties applicable to the driver of a vehicle has' but it is a bit better.

But we should at least stop calling them car lanes.

Every lane is a car lane.
Every lane is a bike lane.

I don't understand what this says. Can you use more punction, verbs?

how about big, wedge shaped, signed concrete bollards spaced five feet apart? :D

I think a simple cessation of lane stripe, then dashed bike lane turning to solid is often seen in these parts as a bike lane is added to a road.
