@enobacon holy shit, are those direction-of-travel aligned grates on storm drains?

I mean, aside from all the other bullshit, that in particular should be prosecuted as malicious intent.

@danlyke I'm pretty sure they have enough crossbars that you can't fall into them, but the depth and (lack of) transition varies so much that I won't ride over most of them anyway, besides that's where the broken glass and junk goes. The gutter shouldn't be counted as bike lane width anyway, but our rocket scientist traffic Engineers probably thought it looked like nearly 5ft in plan / the first time it was painted 🙄

fuckin drivers man why

But at least some separation there... Why don't more people bike from #Portland to #Beaverton? Could it be the way ODOT sits on this segment like a selfish old dragon, the way it does all of the deadly urban #stroads in our metro area? #Vision60or70something #ODOTGTFOpdx

Pavement being destroyed by speeding drivers, crumbling the foundation to sand before ODOT'll hand it over to local jurisdictions. Right lane is effectively bus-and-turn only, just paint it red some and let's go. #VisionZero

overly-wide lanes, free left turns everywhere and extra space reserved for cars in places where you can't even turn left, a "Bike on roadway" sign cowering off to the far side of the sidewalk at one point (no sidewalks at other points, of course.) I catch up to the driver who farted their cloud of car stink in my face, and they belatedly activate a turn signal.

or two, about half a mile later, this one was in my way again. Why is there no bike lane here ODOT.

Extra lanes for cars doesn't move more cars, you're all just stopping to wait for other cars because they're moving too fast for everyone to just smoothly keep flowing along (and platooned by the long stop lights, requiring more delay at all of the lights, delay delay delay...) Cars are fast?
