大津市自転車専用レーンWho are bike lane designers?
Where do they go to school to learn their craft?
Are they engineers? Artists? Bureaucrats in a smock?
Is there a school of Advanced Bike Lane Studies?
As in all fields, some planners are clearly better than others.
This lane, in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture - just over the hill from Kyoto - falls into the all too common "Not Too Great" category.
The brick sidewalk has been marked with blue striping and a pedestrian and bicycle symbol.
Without a barrier, there is not doubt lots of weaving. However, the mere fact of putting the symbol and lanes does seem to have a pavlovian effect: most cyclists do stay in the lane.

That one's not too bad. At least it's unobstructed. I travel a lot with my folding bike, and let me tell you - there is SO much worse out there!! The bike lane that inexplicably disappears or ends in the side of a bus shelter
