Proper Bike Lane
Jeffrey Erlitz
Traveling in Europe, it’s so nice to see how bike lanes are prominently part of the cityscapes! This example is in Vienna. The bike lane is slightly raised up from the roadway and the sidewalk is slightly higher still. Trucks, let alone cars, do NOT block the bike lanes!
So sad that there’s no apparent interest in having these here.

And unidirectional- just a like a car lane.

Yup! The other direction is on the other side of the street.

Hi Jeff, and all, I'm not sure about your belief that there's no apparent interest in the U.S. for this style and other styles of bike lanes. There are many experimental bicycle lane structures active in the U.S., not to mention the funding now approved by both federal and state legislation for bicycle infrastructure. They aren't problem free but this activity is still relatively new. The League of American Bicyclists are VERY actively lobbying and this is one of their prime focuses. If you want to help, you can become a member and request being part of the local scene in that respect.
