Bike lane ends

They're all over the city.  Everywhere!

Cyclists encounter them every time they ride their bikes.    It's the ubiquitous "Bike Lane Ends Ahead" sign.

Each time the bike lane ends, the cyclist must make a decision regarding where to go - hugh the curb, cycle in the middle of the lane or get on the side walk.  Drivers too, have to decide where is the cyclist going to go?  This uncertainty is unnerving for both the cyclist & driver.

Bike lane often disappear where the curb lane morphs into a right turn lane e.g. the new bike lanes south of New St. on Appleby & Walkers Lines,  Brant Street northbound just before the QEW. etc. etc

Hamilton uses sharrows through some of the major intersections directing cyclist where to go.

Sharrows are a great idea and hopefully will make motorists better aware that cyclists are using the road and encourage motorists to slow down.

Maybe its time to consider adding another sign to the streets of Burlington.
