Fuck cars

Yeah diamond interchanges kick ass. They made me nervous the first time I used one, since it was the kind where you end up driving on the opposite side of the road. But just follow signs and you’ll get where you need to go and there’s almost no risk compared to the garbage interchanges you usually see around interstates.

I wouldnt bike on that painted bike lane across a right turn slip lane designed to make cars slow down as little as possible coming off the freeway

There should be a protected bike lane in the median with a dedicated signal where the diamonds cross

Painted bike lanes are just Dodge Ram kill zones.

Those aren’t bike lanes. They are merging guides for the cars. So yeah it’s still lacking but better than a cloverleaf.

Edit: sorry, there are bike lanes. I hadn’t noticed that there were two colors on my mobile

Since there are traffic lights, I personally would no be worried about taking my bike through
