There’s no way it’s at the ping you set it to. I’ve been visiting the Harbor for years and that’s not what it looks like. I’d wager it’s Niguel near the Ritz based on fencing, but I didn’t frequent that area as often.
I can’t even open your ping (edit to add I meant street view not the ping itself), but I know the area to have a much more level topography. Besides extra vegetation and buildings. Was there anything in particular that made you think it was in the Harbor? Or did you just assume?
Not to mention the sidewalk, why do we have sidewalks along highway speed roads?
There should be a complete buffer zone along roadways like this. Things such as planters, dividers or trees. Sidewalks should be plesent to walk along, same for bike ways.
Trouble is in north America all roadways are “strodes” (neither a street or a road) or a highways. We need better classification systems to differentiate between a street, a road, a highspeed road, a highway, and a interstate.
This is one of the laziest excuses for bike infrastructure I’ve ever seen. It looks like it should be temporary, like they haven’t got around to adding dividers yet.
Whenever a roadway such as this is in gridlock you always see someone being the first to shoot out into the painted section which is unsafe for everyone. Then as soon as that happens you have a full line of people following.
This is why painted lines should be accompanied by proper roadway design using curbs, medians, and various other traffic calming measures. Unfortunately, the road in this picture like many is over engineered wide from the start.
Probably because if there wasn’t a bike lane, bicyclists would be forced to use the road. I’m pretty sure there aren’t any bicyclists riding at automobile highway speeds. Obviously counterintuitive to block the bike lane with that sign though.
Some areas in a town near me have bridges that don’t have bike lanes, and it’s technically illegal for bicyclists or pedestrians to cross those bridges. But there’s no other way to get to the other side of town without crossing one or the other bridge.
Act like that’ll stop me from crossing on a bicycle if and when I need to? Hell no, but I ain’t about to ride in traffic, I ride cautiously in the service lane. That sucks though, the service lanes are lined with reflectors and littered with broken glass and tire fragments and shit.
The world in general needs more proper bike lanes, without boneheads screwing up and making them unsafe with random obstacles.
WATCH FOR BIKES? Well no shit, if that sign is in front of me, I see a bicycle right under my ass, that’s what the lane is for right?
Put the stupid sign in the buffer zone and call it a day…
That looks like a 100km/h road, why the hell is there a bike lane there? :D
I would say that’s what many urban roads (35 mph / 60 km/h) look like in the US.
The speed limit on this stretch is 30 mph 😳

Friend, around here any road marked 40 km/h or more is treated as a 100 km/h road 😂
