re: Bike lane controversy on Glenmore Ave in BR

this whole thing is about the Bikers' sense of entitlement. If they didn't resort to gestapo type BS like calling the cops to write tickets, we wouldn't be here. ride around the damn parked car and ride safely.

If you can't look over your shoulder before performing this maneuver, then you shouldn't be biking.

I just got back from a week in Chattanooga and first time seeing bike boxes in person in the downtown area. Seemed to work great (probably because there were so many cyclists in town), but they really are engaged in an education campaign.

Bike Boxes are an intersection safety design at signalized intersections to prevent collisions between cyclists and turning vehicles. The benefits of bike boxes include providing increased visibility of bicyclists, particularly to right turning motorists, and positioning bicyclists to clear an intersection quickly, minimizing impediment to other traffic. - See more at: https://www.chattanooga.gov/transportation/transportation-resources/bicycling#sthash.vhGU2dEM.dpuf

Bike Lanes are dedicated lanes for bikes. Vehicular traffic is prohibited in bike lanes and must yield to cyclist when crossing a bike lane when necessary turn. This is the preferred bike facility used where road width allows.

Shared Lanes are travel lanes shared by motorists and cyclists.
