Space: Discover Science Through Facts and Fun
Steve Way
@BrandonWC @GershKuntzman @_Steve_Bennett @NYC_DOT @TransAlt @LincolnRestler @StreetsblogNYC There is a bike box for left turns onto schemerhorn or you can use the diverter as a “protected” queue space ahead of traffic to make the left. The point stands though that continuing to mix two-way protected and directional protected lanes creates awkward transitions.
