Viich is my view of the photo correct...the bike lane is SUNK a few inches below the rest of the roadway?
When I was in parts of Japan they had a 4 inch or so concrete barrier between the roadway and a narrow shoulder. It was good enough as it goes, I suppose...but I often daydream when I am riding (no no not in the city!) and I was always afraid I would get undercut if i drifted to the right (since in Japan you ride on the left).
But doesn't this make it difficult to enter the roadway when you want to turn left, especially if there is a a left turn lane you'd want to get into?
