I saw this article about some lanes being discussed in Ottawa:

Ottawa reacts to potential advisory bike lanes for Byron Avenue - Ottawa - CBC News

I hold reservations if this would work on a busy road (I am not sure how busy it is). I would be worried about a must get in front mentality of drivers along the route and ending with all but the most road hardened commuters being scared off.

But as a rational person I can see where the logic in their function is (I like streets with the traffic calming bottleneck crosswalk design) and I like the lane design from that aspect.

I will be interested to see what develops if they are installed. I am also interested in others opinions and ideas in this lane design.

What do you all think?
