Some cities have streetcars/trolleys sharing the road. The Green Line in Boston does this. It’s separated through some sections, but in others it’s just raw-dogging the street. It seems to work out fine for them for the most part. There’d be riots if they tried that in my suburban town.
And that’s with a curb on the other side. I’ve been on many bike lanes with parking on the right. If it isn’t blocked entirely, there are cars going back and forth, doors opening, clueless people standing there, etc.
If only separated bike lanes were more common. I’m really not comfortable riding with all those cars just right there.
You don’t like it when the cars randomly drift into the bike lanes? You really need to learn to share the road, my friend.
We should have shared lanes between freight trains and cars, without any signalling or crossing. Everyone should share
We should run high-speed rail down the general traffic lane. I see no problem with this if people learn to share the road.
