I just want to share this one intersection near my house…. Admittedly tight, admittedly no bicycling infrastructure…. During the winter I weekly see tire tracks in the snow across the sidewalk from people who can’t drive well enough to stay on the road when making a turn.
Think of the worst driver you know. There are worse. Millions of them. I don’t feel safe cycling around here , but it’s even worse when I don’t feel safe walking on the sidewalk
We do need to make this protection normal. Let’s start with effing Jersey barriers because drivers are always worse than you expect
