these don't work at all. you need physically separated lanes. double parking forces vehicles to decide whether to park in the bike lane or in the traffic lane. either one eliminates the bike lane. we don't need on street parking as much as we need bike lanes. eliminate one side of on street parking from many streets and make physically separated bike lanes and we'll be much better off.

That's a LOT of paint!

I think the effort would be better spent creating buffered bike lanes.

Where I live (California), right turning drivers are required to merge into the bike lane before turning right (I helped write that law about 30 years ago to help prevent "right hook" accidents). Our bike lane stripes are broken for 100' before intersections to encourage motorists to merge. I don't see any broken bike lane stripes in the video. What is the law for right turning motorists in New York? Are right hook accidents a problem?

anyone know what type of before/after data is being collected to determine the effectiveness of this new color?

Kudos to DOT for the effort. I too hope that the paint has some anti-skid properties as well. Hopefully, MVs will be a little more respectfull of it.

Yee-haw! Wonder if it does anything though to deter drivers from double-parking in the bike lane.

It is kind of a loud color, but that is precisely the kind of color we need. I remember they painted part of that blue once, but it just didn't work very well.

Can't wait to head over there.

Very cool. I like the color, actually.

I hope the paint has some anti-slip properties so it doesn't get slippery in the rain.
