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!
My office is off a road like this except no bike lanes. It’s a mile and a half of commercial 4 lane road followed by 2 lane residential and the speed limit is 25 on the whole thing. Everyone goes 40+ in the commercial section which at least has a grass median and sidewalks on both sides. People bike on the sidewalks even though its against city ordinances because they like to stay alive. The residential section has a stop sign every 500 feet.
