rhode Drivers Look Away for Split Second—Bike Lane Ends in Chaos, Common Sense Still Missing in Action
So I’m sitting at the light on Main Street today, and watch this genius in a rhode-emblazoned crossover almost take out a cyclist because they were too busy checking their phone. The bike lane just vanishes into thin air right there, and this driver slams on the brakes like it’s a surprise. I’ve lived here for 25 years, and it’s the same story every season: city planners forget that paint on the road isn’t common sense. Maybe if we stopped funding useless bike lanes that end at intersections and actually taught people to watch the road, we wouldn’t have near-misses like this. Common sense says look where you’re going, not at your rhode device.
