Do you really need data to show that motorists are more lackadaisical about overtaking cyclists when they are separated by a stripe?
When you're comparing "bike lane routes" to "old fashioned routes" I don't know what you're comparing.
I'm asking you to compare your favorite "bike lane route" to the exact same route with nothing changed except for the removal of the bike lane stripe.
Yes. Haven't noticed an extraordinary amount of debris. Maybe that's because cars cross the line?
Yes.
Routes without bike lanes.
I would probably not ride on my 'favorite bike lane route' if the stripes were removed. The stripes at least keep most of the Cadillac Cruise Missles centered in their lanes. Without them, they'd be swerving all over the place.
