Cambridge's Ambitious Protected Bike Lane Law
I live and work in Cambridge and one of the new separated lanes is on my regular route to work. The design, I think has been mostly an improvement, with quibbles. There's definitely less chance of getting doored, but I don't like that the lanes go right through bus stops. Also, cars turning at intersections don't see you on the other side of parked cars.A big plus, though is that the city actually keeps the lane cleared in winter. The regular bike lanes get to be pretty bad and blocked by parked cars when there's a lot of snow.
