Ugh.

Sure enough, it's bike lanes and a regular 1.5m sidewalk on each side. It would have been much better for cycling if it were no bike lanes, but MUTs on each side. But I get it, the bike lanes let them have the asphalt width the engineers want, while also checking off the "bike infrastructure" box.
"Asphalt width the engineers want"...I.e., waste of money. The flair for one of the onramps starts before the previous intersection, leading to a seven meter or more wide lane approaching that intersection and through it, for a hundred meters or more. I'm sure that won't affect speeds on that section right. Great place for a bike lane.
How are we still doing these stupid things.
