And what would have happened to this man and baby if he were travelling
southbound and followed the big white arrow arrow which directs cyclists
to make a right turn directly across the lane of merging traffic? It
makes me shudder to think of it.
Experienced cyclists know better and will ignore this right turn signal
and get on the bike lane *after* the merge lane. One can only hope that
novice cyclists (epescially ones with baby trailers) will ignore this
brain dead right turn arrow and do the safe thing...
