Buffer after transition
|

|
Parking and bike lane with wide street-side buffer. We look south toward 15th Street. The barrier here is short and is followed by a striped median, which has the same meaning as a barrier under the law: drivers including bicyclists may not cross it. Vehicles using the parking lane at the left have to cross it to get to the parking spaces.
Comment by Dan Gutierrez:
"The captions for photos 5921-5931 (except 5925) all show striped-median-separated one-way sidepaths, NOT bike lanes. Even the striping in photo 5925 shows 4" wide stripes (typical for an edge stripe) separating the "bike lane" from the LTOL, instead of a standard 6" wide bike lane stripe, so one can argue that this facility is also a kind of shoulder or path, and not a roadway travel lane...
"The allowed movements are very different for a one-way sidepath compared to a bike lane. In particular, a striped median cannot be crossed, thus cyclists are not allowed to leave the one-way highway sidepath in the same way they are allowed to leave roadway bike lanes.
"It is quite clear to me that the facilities on 9th Avenue, Broadway and Grand, all are intended to function as one-way sidepaths, with occasional short segments of striping as standard bike lanes (probably by accident)."
