Question:
How do we make cities more cyclist-friendly?
Can you get a speeding ticket for going over the yellow speed limit signs on curves in the road?
1) Devotion and Understanding
The 1st thought is in this question begs the question, how devoted are you to SOLVING THE PROBLEM? There is a clear distinction here. If you would really like to solve the problem as opposed to blaming another group (i.e. commuters or others)? Would you like to make cities more cyclist-friendly? Truly? If so, you may have to make some compromises or pay some fees (yes you) to make it happen. Are you willing to do that?
How long would it take to drive from Orange california to Fort wayne Indiana, or how can i find out?
2) Complex Issue
This issue is much more complex than responders like “oddball” are capable of. If you do not have the mental capacity to solve it or an understanding of the issue please OPT-OUT. This is not about blaming one group or another. If you think it is, you are a part of the problem and not the solution, shove off!
When driving on a two lane road....?
Let’s take a look at a comment on the site. Oddball suggests, "I didn't see the bicycle" defense must be made "null and void." Is he an attorney that ge

I'm sorry, somewhere in your political speech is there a question?When you merge onto the interstate, who yields?
I'm going to ignore your multiparagraph speech that appears to be a contentious discourse asking people who do not share your views not to respond. I'm simply going to answer the question:
Can People with Epliepsy drive in California?
The burden of safety is on the cyclist. Not every roadway is intended for cyclists, and not every minute of the day on suitable roadways is intended for cyclists. not every cyclist is the same, so each cyclist mucst make up their own mind as to whether enteringh traffic on a roadway is safe or not for them personally.
Any time they leaveteh realatively quiet surafce streets of a residentail area for busier and higher speed roadways, they need to evaluate whether it is safe to do so.
Cyclist should be required to keep up with the flow of traffic, if traffic is going 35-45 mph on a city street, the cyclist should not be doing 15. Pedestrians should consider sharing sidewalks with cyclists in those areas, perhaps oversized sidewalks with a clearly indicated bike path would be more appropriate than cyclists sharing roadways with cars and trucks by driving in the breakdown lane /turning lane modified into a bike path by painting a line...
.
Cyclists should be required to cross all streets where pedestrian crosswalks are available on foot unless they are completely in a traffic lane and maintaining pace with vehicular traffic., and should be required to cross on foot any intersection where there is a dedicated turning lane.
Cyclists should also exercise lane discipline.
Their best choice is (like motorcyclists) to use the CENTER of a traffic lane when no bike path is available not the right 2 feet of a traffic lane where they are harder to see. Otherwise exit that roadway if unable to keep up with the flow of traffic.
Chicagoan's, how was your morning commute today?
Finally cyclists should remember that laws regarding traffic apply equally to them as well. I would like to see cyclists charged with running red lights and charged with impeding traffic when applicable. Cyclists should also be stopped for missing safetyy equipment if on a raodway, such as the light, rear, and front reflectors that are leagally required in such situations.
Professional Drivers Training?
Finally I would like them to realize that courtesy towards drivers is not cycling on congested and busy high speed roadways at rush hour, nor becoming Irate when vehicles are passing them closely at 65-70 mph. In that case, please exit the roadway Mr.cyclist for a slower street. Not every roadway is intended for use by a cyclist.
How close do I have to be behind a semi on the expressway to be drafting?
Motorist do need to remain vigilant for cyclists, particualrly the ones with no common sense, while cities need to better maintain the outside edges of the road way so that slower cyclists or cyclists who are stopping do not impide traffic, nor are in danger because vehicles must pass within one to two feet of the cyclist due to confined roadways. Perhaps as mentioned above unlicensed cyclists should share sidewalks with pedestrians, unlike the licensed motorcyclists and other vehicle operators. An incident would be very unlikely to result in a fatality, unlike when they share roadways with motor vehicles.
Why are the roads so terrible in some states?
well the first step is to get nutcase drivers off the roads,Where do I find the MARTA bus schedule from Buford, GA to a southboud MARTA train station?

How can i put my car in the car show??
the bicyclist should only ride in areas that are safe for themselves,with plenty of room for cars to pass at normal speeds,otherwise they are takeing a risk at their own stupidity.or they should start paying taxes on their bikes ,like the vehicle owners have to.come on they cant have it both ways.and 911 was an inside job,wake up america,you all should be focusing on what your crooked politicians are doing to your countryWhy is it that it took me 20 minutes to drive less than half a mile?
As a person that woke up in a hospital covered in blood from head to toe after riding my bicycle near the side of a road with no helmet,no sidewalk, and no curb I would have to agree that there are problems with roadway sharing in the states. The guy next to me in the hospital, asked me what type of bike I was riding, since he crashed his Harley and only broke his foot, was rather surprised to hear I was riding a Huffy.Is there traffic lights on highway 138?

should petrol be more expensive?
Infrastructure:
Clearly, roadways are one of the most expensive infrastructure investments that our tax dollars go to. With old philosophies, from the Roosevelt era, still in widespread use there are inherent roadblocks to developing non-traditional solutions to traffic flow.
Adopting a least cost approach to developing new infrastructure will cost more in the long run, and ALWAYS LEADS TO CONGESTION. The solution to congestion is to plan and develop every square foot of property with a design that incorporates every route of transportation, and then if congestion happens the only thing you can do is change the method of transportation, which will promote ingenuity. Why was the automobile invented? Why was the plane invented? See Malthus. Period.
how many of you have ever been in a limo?
Economics:
Legislation that will make Infrastructure possible, which will infringe on some civil liberties.
Have you ever been driving and cut someone off so bad they had to SLAM on their breaks or....?
Propaganda:
Start with a war, since it is easier to rebuild or start from scratch, and people will never agree to these ideas unless they are facing death. Win or lose: rebuild with sound Infrastructure and Economics. See WWII. Just because we have the entire globe, doesn't mean we have to inhabit the entire thing! Compromise and Consolidate, for Pete's Sake!
Why do people drive in the left (usa) lane under the speed limit and then refuse to move over?
These ideas will probably make more sense in 40 years. So, for the many baby boomers who are making the mistakes, I mean decisions, costing us GEN Nexters trillions of dollars and billions of lives, don't worry cause you'll already be gone, which is probably what you're thinking, anyway. As for the rest of you, buy a helmet, ride your bike and start thinking about your kids' future.
how do u not let your nerves get to you on your driving test?
Please comment.
On tube trains in particular, when it is busy, why do people prefer to jam themselves by the doors?
you get rid of the fixed gear kids that like to taunt drivers.what is a cheap and best way to commute from las vegas to Pheonix?
I was in an accident in portland last year. It was with a truck that passed me (I was in a bike lane), then she turned right directly in front of me (without blinkers). I was wearing a bright yellow rain coat and orange helmet so she probably saw me. The road was wet, so I wasn't able to stop in time to avoid the side of the vehicle. She stopped 100 yards down the road and looked out the window to make sure I was still alive, but too far for me to see the liscence plate. I actually saw a letter to the editor complaining that I didn't go to see what damage I had done to her husbands truck. Bet he didn't get the whole story. Hope I took as much paint off the vehicle as skin was removed from my body.The reflective bumps might help along bike paths. Recognition that bikers help reduce traffic congestion and keep fuel prices from rising more would be good. Recognition from all that we are just trying to get somewhere and deserve respect no matter what we are driving would help too.
