[QUOTE="keith99, post: 58516440, member: 211648"] Most places I've been in Los Angeles the cars respect teh bike lanes. Problem is the places cycles need them respected the most is where they are respected the least. The problem with most bike paths is that they still have to cross streets, which often means cyclists coming into the street at speed where not expected. That forces any rider to either be unsafe or turn into a pedestrian (at least speedwise) at each street crossing. It also (somewhat reasonably) creates teh expectation in drivers that bikes belong on hte bike paths and not the street. That can create the situation where a street that previously was fuine to ride now has hostile drivers. (Which is exactly what happened with teh Orange line Bike path). [/QUOTE]
