Good idea, poor execution department:
Have to cross Avenida Encinas as I head down busy 6-lane Poinsettia Lane to my beach-adjacent rides. Drivers turning right onto Avenida Encinas here have to cross the bike lane in a confusing way.
Out of concern for our well-being, the City of Carlsbad often parks a big flashing portable "WATCH FOR CYCLISTS" sign at the entrance to the right turn lane.
Problem is, the guy who drops off the sign usually puts it
right across the bike lane, forcing me to veer left into traffic. At which point I'm
really counting on drivers to "WATCH FOR CYCLISTS"!
After the 3rd time, called the City of Carlsbad Streets Department. To their credit, they understood the problem right away, apologized, and said they'd move the sign immediately. And sure enough, it was in a safe spot on the median the next day.
Only now it just said, "SLOW DOWN". Not a word about cyclists. Oh well.
