| Pinch points created by 'bump-outs' |
-[[]
I just watched a cyclist come off off the light at Queen and Leslie, the cyclist came off the light faster the cab driver, and as he approached the curb lane parking he paced his ride while eyeing the cabs' progress to the right of his progress.
The cab matched the cyclists' speed until the pinch-point and then, at the point where the pinch point was most dangerous - overtook him.
Why?
If there was separate infrastructure (a painted line) then the cab would have over-taken the cyclist right off - no pinch-point.
