Best bike lanes for aiding traffic flow
Staff Pick
Though far from being the two-wheelers' playground it could be, Atlanta's made some inroads when it comes to cycling. The most welcome addition to the metro region's disparate bicycle network: Decatur’s new bike lanes along West Ponce de Leon Avenue and West Trinity Place.
Bike lanes are great, protected bike lanes are even better. Ponce could have benefitted from protected bike lanes. It’s a great place to put bike lanes in because it leads into the City of Decatur. It’s a great place to take away a lane because there are less cars speeding on the road. It’s like an unannounced drag race. The protected lanes would help because it discourages other drivers from passing when a car is turning. And cars still go pretty fast and having one fly by you is needless to say scary.
Yay for the award, maybe the new bikes lanes will be protected.
