Speaking about MUT's: Around here, most of the curb-cuts leading into the MUT's have this awful plastic-dot square things on them, I assume for wheelchairs, scooters, et. al. to get traction and keep them from sliding into the traffic on rainy days. Problem is, you do NOT want to hit this hazard at any speed on a road bike, and it especially makes turning left against traffic onto the MUT a hazard, since you need to slow down to a crawl to get over these d@mn things!
