jacko45k Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 They would just become a lane for people heading in the wrong direction. Likely a waste of paint, like the lines we have on the roads and kerbs already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2fishin2 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Where I live there are motorbike lanes, bike lanes and car lanes. Waste of paint, money and time making all those pretty lines of which nobody cares. It s just a bigger road for people to drive like even more of an idiot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krataiboy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 There are some relatively new specially-coloured and signed bicycle lanes in and around Cha Am used and appreciated by local cycling enthusiasts and visitors, who are encouraged to hire bicycles for recreation and sightseeing. Unfortunately, while the designated lanes outside the town are generally quiet and safe to ride, those in the busier inner areas are routinely cluttered with delivery vans and private cars belonging to drivers who cannot be bothered to park in one of the numerous side-roads. As a result cyclists have to risk life and limb lane-hopping to avoid these vehicles, in the process crossing lines of raised marker studs which become a slippery hazard in wet weather. Parking is an increasing problem here, as in many other rapidly-expanding tourist towns, yet meeting the growing demand of car-owning visitors and residents seems a low priority. If I was running the place (Heaven forbid!) parking meters would be installed where appropriate and I would build a couple of multi-storey municipal car parks, one for the main shopping area and the other for the beach. The revenuefrom parking fees would help defray development costs. Parking on designated cycle lanes should be declared unlawful and offenders fined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
