i have little or no problem negotiating discon-tinous bike lanes of the type noisebeam describes.....arterial intersections with slightly narrowed exit shoulders that morph into a bike lane 30 feet after an intersection......think intersections with pocket slip lanes..... surely not the best design, but why does noisebeam avoid riding in them for 300 feet after the intersections**********
I wonder, strongly wonder, how riders other than noisebeam 'intrepret' Mesa, AZ's bike lanes and treatments?
Did you even look at the aerial view provided and my read description? If you had and payed attention you wouldn't be making up a reality to fit your ranting. Also what does this have to do with Mesa?
I attached a jpg of the intersection with some annotations of mine. I show the transition from 2.5' shoulder to 4' BL and also a yellow line (over no real line) showing how the lanes don't line up on either side of the intersection. So many drivers are over the fog line after crossing the intersection.
