@daihard bravo to that driver only. I took these two pictures at the same time while riding uphill with load on a trailer. #pdxBikes #paintIsNotProtection
Delivering some one-handed package, dude just turned out of a side street half a block down and parks on this sidewalk+bike lane. Even on 35mph #stroads, giant delivery trucks are slower than electric cargo bikes, and a hazard. Though probably OSHA wouldn't allow it, #paintIsNotProtection and neither are plastic sticks. Bus lanes would make a world of difference here if ODOT and Beaverton would play along. #bhHwy

At least these two drivers parked on half of the car lane so if you're going around them on a bike the car behind you mostly needs to change lane anyways. The amazon driver is nestled tight into just the bike lane though. They should just mark several "STOP HERE FOR LOADING" rectangles in the left middle of the right car lane, maybe "TURN FLASHERS ON / KEEP BIKE LANE CLEAR" but that wouldn't be MUTCD compliant right. #trafficEngineers #PaintIsNotProtection #InducedDemand #EngineeringTraffic
Portland to upgrade bike lanes with concrete barriers over five years
https://katu.com/news/local/portland-to-upgrade-bike-lanes-with-concrete-barriers-over-five-years
"Bicycles, #Gender, and Risk: #Drivers Behaviors When Passing [people on bikes] ... measuring passing distance on a minimum of 400 passing events on each type of roadway... Vehicle passing distances ranged from a mean of 90 inches on the #bollards -protected bike lane to lows of 62-63 inches on roadways with no facilities, shoulders only, and [ #paintIsNotProtection ]" (that's american for almost 1m difference)

might need an Engineer to take a look at this paint.

Still thinking about that near miss with the cop opening his door in my path while I was riding in a marked bike lane. A reminder to film all my rides, even the short neighborhood rides. #PaintIsNotProtection #bikechi
oops is that a picture of #drivers ignoring #PaintIsNotProtection / #PBOT #pdxBikes "infrastructure" that poses zero threat to their car?

Someone forgot the protection at the St Kilda Junction intersection.
The bike lane is also not wide enough to not be illegally close passed.

@drnike @bicycletting @irishcycle @dublincyclingcampaign Nice, fresh and shiny! With only two obstructions on the far side where it looks mandatory and not simply advisory. #FreeTheCycleLanes #BikeTooter #PaintIsNotProtection #LipstickOnAPig
for the #trafficEngineers in the back: If your "bike infrastructure" won't stop a car, it's not really infrastructure. #PaintIsNotProtection #stuffInTheStreet
9 cars per minute "#SafeRoutesToSchool", this was after it settled down a little. #SpeedHumps are useless at #TrafficCalming #PaintIsNotProtection #FuckCars our #trafficEngineers have no idea how to make safe streets π #DefundDOTs #BanSUVs and these people picking up kids with their #TruckLoadOfInsecurities, but if you can't swing that, just put some #StuffInTheStreet
Me, on a bike, on ODOT #stroads, with a couple dashed stripes of paint.
ODOT, in a street sweeper, on ODOT stroads, with a crash-attenuation barrier truck riding sweep.
obviously, #PaintIsNotProtection π #ODOTGTFOpdx
This is how you properly segregate infrastructure. #PaintIsNotProtection
Seems there's another incident of a driver colliding with a cyclist in Galway near Headford Road today. I hope they're ok.
We desperately need better safe & segregated cycling infrastructure in Galway. People's safety & lives are at stake here.
Paint is not protection.
#drivers who have not read the manual
+ #trafficEngineers who don't get it
= #Vision60or70Something and an endless supply of soul-crushing traffic
#VisionZero means designing and operating streets for actual safety, using physical obstacles, not by wishing drivers would follow rules and worn-off paint. #PaintIsNotProtection
@ayo Iβll bet there are roads like that going from Durham into Chapel Hill here in NC (US). #PaintIsNotProtection #InfrastructureMatters
What do you call this pointy lane-narrowing paint job? #BikeTooter #transportation #tacticalUrbanism (spotted in Hawaii) I like it. #PaintIsNotProtection, so it might as well be threatening to #drivers π€· . #PointyPaint
