General Road and Highway Discussion

I doubt that the Fischer-Hallman MUT traffic will be so great as to make crossing it to get on your bus particularly arduous.
They don't put the shelter on their road side to protect it from damage due to plowing in the winter.

This is also quite common in the Netherlands, and it never seemed to be an issue there.  Its very easy for pedestrians to cross a cycleway, even one mixed with pedestrians.  The important thing to get right, and something that is correct here, is that the boarding pad isn't mixed with the MUT.  This allows pedestrians a place to stand as they get off the bus to look for cross traffic on the path.
