Bikes vs Peds Floating Bus Stops in City of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada

RantWoman is aware of several Seattle locations where there is a bike lane between a bus stop and the rest of the sidewalk. RantWoman often finds this placement annoying but has been able to get used to it.

Discussion on a recent committee call suggested that people need to look at whether the "floating" bus stops have flashing lights, no signal, or full Accessible Ped Signal.

Also to be argued about: "buses MUST always stop at the curb." RantWoman is unclear where this point is a legal angle that can be sued over. RantWoman is also openminded about whether boarding and deboarding passengers can be done safely with the right ped infrastructure and safety culture among cyclists.

At a BARE minimum, a lot of cyclists really need to be more courteous about using their bell, ROUTINELY, whether they see a pedestrian or not.

#Bikeshare companies could also definitely alert customers about this particular traffic safety consideration!

RantWoman has no idea whether there have been enough complaints to form any other opinions
