@chidi_anagonye see #EdgeLaneRoads e.g. https://urbanists.social/@enobacon/110829877971129021

The traffic model, or whatever excuse they have for not doing this, needs to account for all of the people who are within biking distance of many trips and are just blocked by the reservation of all paved right of way for speeding cars. @TheWarOnCars

This #chokePoint is how you combine #trafficCalming and safer #crosswalks, with more cost-effective #EdgeLaneRoads. Instead of #YellowCenterlines forcing people on bikes to "share" with cars, two-way car traffic shares one center lane. The #AdvisoryBikeLanes can be used for two drivers to pass each other, but by default, those spaces are dedicated to people walking and biking. (SW 45th, #SWTFpdx, so many streets need this, not blinking lights and victim-blaming.)

@owen @bobco85 @seabikeblog this @activetowns video has a bit about the middle-of-the-road loading zone in Port Townsend with #EdgeLaneRoads. Too many space-constrained road redesigns are starting from the flawed assumption that they need #YellowCenterlines, which waste most of the space most of the time.

@TheWarOnCars 💯 "you have to defeat the suburbs" with #eBikes and #EdgeLaneRoads, eliminate free #parking. The fashion will shift to smaller cars because they're easier to park.

did the grind off the #yellowcenterlines in that picture or were they forward-thinking enough to not paint them while repaving? #EdgeLaneRoads

survey says people in #Portland would rather sit on #transit & read than be #drivers. #pdxBikes and #eBikes seem popular, must be time to paint "bus and turn only" on the outside lanes of our #stroads and let's get out of #pdxTraffic + do a solid #ClimateAction, plus besides: #CarsRuinCities #GeometryHatesCars, the future of #transportation is kids biking themselves to school or joining a #BikeBus, make #SchoolStreets, #BusLanes, & #EdgeLaneRoads / #AdvisoryBikeLanes, out of existing car lanes

If the #AdvisoryBikeLanes #EdgeLaneRoads were actually proportioned like these diagrams, they would be amazing. Not shown: curbs & steel bollards needed every few blocks to keep drivers from ignoring the paint completely. A street in the 26th largest US city needs design elements which get in the way of cars, or it becomes a stroad.
E-mail Scott to say that we should try to put curbs, planters, bollards, or something in the way of speeding cars sometimes.
