The narrow right lane is automatically a 11' bike lane. As a bonus, traffic flow keeps it swept free of debris!
Traffic flow is improved because of the turn lane. All of the public space is available for everyone rather than excluding space for a special vehicle class, which will help recruit motorists as allies to our cause. What's not to love?
Thank you for that. Seems so simple to me, but I didn't want to be the one to point that out.
I think of it as a bike lane that cars can use.
