Sorry, what? Is that "lane" supposed to be a bike lane? That's narrower than most sidewalks. Also, about 100 metres in there's that lane merging in, what are you supposed to do then?
This is even less safer than op's photo because it forces cars to close pass bikers.
The sign says you should cross the patch of grass before the actual merge. I had a hard time understanding that sign as well because apparently that bike lane across the grass is a fucking 30cm wide gravel path I barely spotted.
And then what, "please continue on the highway lane"?
Well they thought it was okay for the bike lane to be on the highway in the first place. So, yes?
At least they had the foresight to see putting bike between two lanes of accelerating and decelerating traffic was bad. Now they just need to realize putting bikes next to high speed traffic in what is effectively a gutter is a bad idea.
