A bike lane on a highway seems like a terrible idea.

    anywhere that you might say "we shouldn't have a bike lane here, it's too dangerous for cyclists" is a place where there should be a bike lane.

    On and near are not the same thing.

    As if you don't block people who are rude and bad faith with you.

    Well it’s a good thing no one is proposing that! Seriously, where do you people come from?

    You are the asshole. You need to look at the image again. They are separated.

    When cars are going 70+ mph 6 feet of fucking grass is not enough there needs to be a cement barrier.

    Definitely put cameras in the bus lane and fine all the cars who are driving in it then.

    There are solid black lines in the bottom diagram instead of dashed in the top two, this suggests something more than a lane line, it might be representing a kerb or could easily be a more physical barrier. but as far as a simplified diagram goes that looks pretty clearly separated as can be depicted in plan view.

    I assume this is not the detailed plans. If it is those buildings are way too small for all of these people to fit inside.

    There’s a bus lane before getting to the cars, and there’s a stoplight and a tighter lane which indicates that that’s no longer a fucking 70+mph zone lol.

    Look, it’s ok to not be that smart but being such a massive prick about it is a bad look, broski.

    You're looking at what is obviously a conceptual diagram and acting as if it's some kind of literal blueprint. IMO it's something closer to a Sankey diagram showing the overall flow and moda share of traffic into the city than a plan sketch of an individual road. I don't think it's even reasonable to conclude that it's actually suggesting using the same alignment for cars, bikes, and pedestrians at all, let alone strawmanning it as "a bike lane on a highway."

    Frankly, I'm found it to be a tough call deciding whether you genuinely didn't understand that or if you were commenting in bad faith (which violates rule 1), and the only thing that made me give you the benefit of the doubt was your later comment talking about the cement barrier (i.e. a somewhat constructive comment about how to make it better) instead of continuing to flatly reject it.

    If you had looked at my replies to other people who replied to me, you would see I wasn't antibike lanes in general. The diagram looks far closer to a city street than a highway.

    I did, hence my reference to "your later comment talking about the cement barrier."

    The right side of it does, sure, because that's what it's depicting the highway transitioning to.
