Bicycling meccas like Portland and Copenhagen have implemented an intersection marking technique called Blue Lanes [+]. Requiring nothing but road paint, these lanes make it clear to drivers that the bicycle lane continues through the intersection, and that they must yield to bicyclists when crossing this lane.
So, as the Mayor backpedals on implementing the Bicycle Master Plan, I wonder if this city is really doing enough to provide its citizens with clearly marked roads. How many gallons of road paint is a young man’s life worth?
