[Talk-us] Combined parking/bike lanes

[Harald Kliems]

Bradley, in colder climates the difference is more than aesthetic. A lot of
these bike become unusable for people riding bikes in the winter because
they don't get fully plowed to the curb and then parked cars take up the
whole remainder of the lane. Admittedly, this often also happens where
there is a striped bike lane, but the paint seems to keep the bad parking
somewhat in check. Example, also from Madison, of painted separation
between bike lane and parking:

some cars on the left are encroaching to some extent, but it's much better.
But yeah, not sure what a good solution for tagging is.

 Harald.
