Was visiting a wisconsin town this weekend and observed this nightmare-ish bike lane configuration… the road’s speed limit is 25mph, but has a massive 500’ acceleration lane. Gonna guess how many people actually obey the speed limit here?
The dashed lines denoting merging across the bike lane are a whopping 482 feet long!
R.I.P. any bike commuter who dares to use that lane during rush hour
Is it legal to use the main road lane when a bike lane is available?
In most jurisdictions, yes. Bikes can typically ride anywhere except motorways.
