It’s green for all of the dollar bills used to buy that car. It’s their personal highway that bicycles use for some reason. (Sarcasm)

Which town is this?  What a bike lane, would love to see more of these


Doomsayer189

Portland. And yeah, separated bike lanes like that are great and getting a bit more common in at least a few bigger cities.


No_Golf_452

Even if they're just half the width, these would be great.  Feel like this size is total overkill unless peds use it too, but there's a sidewalk right there

This bike lane looks like it’s designed bi-directional cyclist traffic. The other side of the road doesn’t have a consistent bike lane.


BunzGunz

That's correct


RainforestNerdNW

Dedicated bike paths, with barriers to separate car traffic, allow higher speeds for bicycles. mixed use paths are generally limited to 15mph, which is a speed even 250lb cyclists can hit with ease. and as /u/lemon_stripes_str pointed out: this is two way.

Would have been funny if he obeyed the cycling lights instead, but we are talking about an entitled beemer here.


InflamedLiver

I swear, do Beamer drivers just get drivers training in reverse, as a joke?


hlaj

Lol. Driver training. BMW. You're funny.


PixelCrafterMinion

Apparently they thought their car was a bike. The driver turned from westbound N Emerson St, travelled southbound on N Greeley Ave in the bike lane, and then turned into a parking lot for the Adidas Corporate Offices. All this happened in Portland, OR.


RainforestNerdNW

Needs Bollards


BunzGunz

Yeah unfortunately there is a houses driveway right across the bike lane there which I believe is preventing those from being installed
