[sustran] Re: Motorcycle-proof design of cycleways?

[Karthik Rao-Cavale]

We had these barriers in our college, and I used to hate them. Everyone
preferred to avoid the barriers rather than squeezing through, and I can't
really say that it kept the motorbikes out. As Rutul Joshi mentioned in
another thread, what is more effective is when there is a critical mass of
cyclists and the motorbikes are forced to go slow even if they invade the
cycle lane.
