One of my commutes is to the grocery store, and the bike lane southbound is *between* two stripes, but one goes AWOL for a large part of the year, so the de facto situation is that the motorists are driving in the bike lane because the left paint stripe is invisible. A casual observer would think the bike lane is to the right of the right-hand stripe, which is actually the parking lane. Fun.

Street view with both stripes visible: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll...12,179.02,,0,0 We have various other "between the stripes" bike lanes where the same thing happens.


Anyone: how well do the bike-lane stripes hold up in your area? Do they tend to be visible most of the year, or do they get worn away and stay missing for extended periods? Enquiring reptiles want to know
