I consider trying to contact another person in the administration before it happens... It's just so stupid, the super expensive hard to build piece of infrastructure to make it safe is there already at the next parallel street (a concrete street bridge over a railway that runs right next to the priority cycle path, that bridge is wide enough so the cycle path also crosses underneath the street together with the railway). Yet for some to me really impossible to understand reason they choose to redesign the streets around it to guide more car traffic from the neighbourhood around it away from this safe crossing of the cycle "priority route" and towards the dangerous level crossing with it. Putting up the extra "you have priority" signs for the cyclists is just the crazy drop too much. Yeah, you have priority but you should be extremely fucking careful here anyway because you are crossing a street with cars that just drive straight for the 800m before it and 800m after it! Nothing but paint and signs in the middle of long straight street... especially at night or in fall/winter when there's often a thick low hanging fog in this city, cyclists should absolutely not be encouraged to blindly take their priority there!
