Drivers will not want to wander into these but bikes can easily pass through ones intelligently spaced. Night time visibility increased too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-44311897809390173442010-08-02T21:23:27.936-06:002010-08-02T21:23:27.936-06:00In New Mexico, we have more rumble strips than bik...In New Mexico, we have more rumble strips than bike lanes on our open roads. Often, the leftmost part of the shoulder is the only one swept relatively clear of debris. So one has the option of riding in the beer-glass spattered far right part of the shoulder and bouncing over the rumble strip into the travel lane to avoid debris, or sharing a travel lane with 60 mph traffic. West of the rock, east of the hard place.<br /><br />DOT has to at least consider that in the equation. <br /><br />MBL laws can also be a pain in the saddle, not any argument there. Mighk Wilson describes it pretty well here.<br />http://commuteorlando.com/wordpress/2010/05/05/call-governor-crist/Khalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866897914538110672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-25424827547127272832010-08-02T17:49:01.056-06:002010-08-02T17:49:01.056-06:00Forgive me for my ignorance, but why would a cycli...Forgive me for my ignorance, but why would a cyclist want to be riding where a traffic rumble strip might be placed? If on a wide shoulder that one is treating as a lane, one should ride further right than any rumble strip and if riding in a narrow lane, one should be riding further left. It never occurred to me this might be an urgent issue compared to, say, mandatory bike lane laws, such as Florida just enacted.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.com
