Hmm... If instead the main road was set back (chicane) then that would achieve the same benefits AND reduce speed on the main road at the intersection. I realise the cost of doing this would be higher, but I don't agree it is always the cyclists that have to zig zag around to make it easy for cars.
Some misinterpret this design as prioritizing cars while inconveniencing the bike. Incorrect.
The setback allows one car to advance, waiting to enter the street, while keeping the bike path clear. A second car can wait behind the bike path, advancing only after the first car exits the waiting area.

I just picked up this HEAVY bookcase from someone on a Craigslist ad. The seller was so blown away by the cargo bike that they jumped on their bike and rode with me for a few blocks to see how it was possible to move such a load without a pickup truck. #OneLessTruck #CargoBikes #BikesAreBetter

The latest National Travel Survey clearly questions that old myth about "Active travel is just for the middle classes, what about working people who have to drive?"

Colinton scores 70% (weaker on public transport and cultural recreation) while a click on Leith Walk gives you 90% (weaker on green spaces but much better otherwise). I'm sure it's not perfect, but still very instructive.

There are 300 "rue aux écoles," streets closed to cars, but open to people—up from 185 last year.
That means *half* of kindergartens + elementary schools now have school streets.
