Friday Funny: Bike lane design from all over

From John Graham: So thoughtful the way they ended the bike lane into the guard rail in case the curb didn’t stop you.

Where is this?

  1. I believe it’s in Brighton, the nearest thing the UK has to Vancouver, the place that UK people that dislike living in the UK prefer to live, and my former home town. I think this is near the Old Steine, not far from the seafront. I used to have to use this bike lane on my ride into work each day. It was not the craziest or worst, but I think this particular one may now have been fixed. There used to be a fine website called ‘the bike lanes of Brighton and Hove’ that had many such examples, some of which can still be found at http://freddio.ueuo.com/cyclelanes/index.html

  2. East Dulwich, in London England. Entrance to the Sainsbury’s parking lot. Street view shows the same shot if you go back in time, but also shows that they have fixed it since. They fixed it by eliminating the bike lane, not by repositioning the bike lane.
