When is the bike lane being discontinued?

The comment period closes on August 22.

Besides filling out the WABA petition, I hope that folks who would like to maintain the Beach Drive closures also provide written comments to the Park Service.

Here is the link:...

For me, the pandemic has been great for my riding. I've been teleworking since last March. Before the pandemic, Iwould bike commute to work 3 or 4 times a week on average, 33 miles round trip. The...

I'm sure MStone is correct. I've been paying attention on my rides in Montgomery County. Less traveled streets have no marking in the cernter. More heavily used streets all have double yellow...

Thanks. Your post makes a lot of sense. Besides the two roads I mentioned in my previous post, I've now come across a third with a double yellow line. And come to think of it, given the speed...

That's the problem. On the streets I mentioned in my post, there is a double yellow line throughout their entirety, whether or not there is sufficient visibility to pass. The double yellow line on...

In the case I'm referring to, the double yellow line should be ignored because it unfortunately provides no useful information. Motorists and cyclists simply need to use good judgment. I wonder...

I've also been looking for double yellow lines. My most common ride takes up Kemp Mill from Randolph then over to Sligo and University and then all the way down Sligo to New Hampshire. (this used...

I just used a tape measure to measure off 14 feet. I don't think I've ever seen a lane that wide.

I then did a google search on lane width and found the following in Wikipedia: "In the United...

A couple of disparate comments.

Many traffic rules require interpretation. However, the goal should be to write them in a way that minimizes potential differences in interpretation. Part of the...

Somehow an earlier response by me did not show up, so I will try again.

I was biking on Sligo Parkway between New Hampshire and University. This is a two lane road. Some sections have a double...

Let me preface this comment by noting that I generally do my best to let cars pass me - both because I try to be considerate when I'm on my bike and because I would prefer having aggressive drivers...

Before I started teleworking full time during the pandemic, I used to commute from Silver Spring near Randolph and New Hampshire to the Postal Square Building across from Union Station. Major...

I rode the MBT today and it was in excellent shape.

Anyone know what condition the Metropolitan Branch Trail is in today?

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply and the useful links.

I didn't think of Saturday usage, as I only use the trail as part of my weekday commute.

I've been riding in a state of wonderment past the work being done on the construction of a relatively small stretch of new sidewalk on McCormack Place between Bates Road and Catholic U. I suppose...

I didn't anticipate taking my bike on the metro any time soon. But the new policy saved my bacon yesterday. Around 4:30, I had a flat on Fort Totten after turning off Bates. Changed the tire and...

I rode on the MBT today. This morning it was in pretty good shape except for two places. The first bad spot was near the NY Avenue underpass. I believe water tends to collect there, so I can...
