Linden is a through street, people are on that road to get from east to west ASAP. If you are using a bike that indicates speed isn't a priority, therefore put the "sharrow" on Liberty, Gorden, Allen, Washington, Union. Any of these streets would be a better choice than Linden.<br /><br /> Scott ArmstrongAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-78538270357227682572013-05-12T15:52:04.646-04:002013-05-12T15:52:04.646-04:00So when you've been proven mistaken about the ...So when you've been proven mistaken about the bike lane and potential traffic congestion it will cause, you continue by complaining about the money spent on a stencil company?<br /><br />Your curmudgeonliness knows no bounds.<br /><br />You're awesome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-80807964836418157222013-05-11T18:09:20.588-04:002013-05-11T18:09:20.588-04:00I agree that the new signs are pretty pointless, a...I agree that the new signs are pretty pointless, although I don't hate that the city is trying to make motorists more aware of cyclists. The new paint certainly wouldn't have prevented the recent death of the 15 year old who collided with an suv at 16th and Union. <br /><br />Speaking as someone who lives by West Park and who drives and/or bikes on these streets pretty much every day as weather and purpose allow, I find that drivers are for the most part already pretty generous with the road, and the ones who aren't won't change their behavior because of a few stencils.<br /><br />For the record, though, I don't wear spandex.CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08780978870640296144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-56909447361687881602013-05-11T16:12:36.740-04:002013-05-11T16:12:36.740-04:00I love it, all the sharing.

It simply alerts motorists that cyclists may use the full travel lane. It does not prohibit motor vehicles from using the lane. Many cities, including Bethlehem and now Allentown, use them to mark bicycle commuting routes. See Wikipedia "shared-lane markings." Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
