京都自転車専用レーン実証実験A recent story in the Asahi Shinbun (in Japanese) caught our eye.
Around the Takakura Elementary Elementary School in downtown Kyoto, the city is doing a test run for new pedestrian lanes and bicycle lanes.
The car lane has been reduced from 4 meters (13.2 feet) down to 3 meters (9.8 feet).
In that extra room, pedestrian lanes have been widened by 50 cm (20 inches), on both sides.
In the remaining space, a bike lane 0.6 meters (1.96 feet) wide has been painted on the asphalt. (The photo above right gives an idea of just how narrow the "lane" is. The photo below is a wider view.)
We are not joking.
This appears to be yet another bad joke, and the test is running until March 22.
Then the city will parse the data, and decide what if any action to take.
