    Here's a story that goes back to the OP about bicycle lanes. IMO a busy road like what is shown in the accompanying video really is a dangerous spot for a bike lane. Even the article reveals that the bicyclist was in the dump truck's blind spot as it was making a right turn. She was also riding along side the truck which IMO is very dangerous. It's also plain to see that the markings of the bike lane are almost faded away. It's tragic that the woman was killed but she was bicycling at around 7am, which is darker now that we just had daylight saving time. Honestly, in a spot like this if I were on the bike I would get off and walk the bike across the intersection. In fact I would never ride a bike on a street as busy as this.
