Bikes: the ever shifting stable loaded with comfortable road bikes and city and winter bikes

bike lane designs are not all to the right of right turning traffic. you do understand narrow streets cannot always have destination routing pocket bikelanes? intersection standards as per federal highway design guidance is for a dashing or a cessation of the stripe approaching anything more than a residential driveway. bikelanes get dashed or go away approaching hundreds, likely thousands of intersections in seattle.

have you seen the MUTCD design standards for bikeways, randya?

i do agree oregon should follow FHWA guidance on how to place bikelanes approaching significant intersections.

i'm pretty sure i've ridden on pocket bikelanes in oregon, i was riding in Salem a couple of months ago and seem to remember some FHWA/MUTCD compliant roadway facilities for bicyclists.

since cyclists intrinsically use a 'bikebox' position at intersections that have no bikebox, why not codify it and legitimize this position along select routes?
