Well, there are plenty of worst case scenarios, and then ANY facilitiy breaks down.
My mph question goes to the heart of what's "reasonable." Why won't you tell us what you mean by "reasonable"?
To me a bike lane that slows me from 35 to 20 mph is not reasonably designed and/or maintained. How much of a slow down do you think is "reasonable"? The mph chart I provided above is ahandy way for you to answer. Which of those slow downs is "reasonable"?
