Thanks.
So let me see if I get this.
That road street has " three separate kinda sorta "lanes"-
Far left car lane- middle a somewhat narrow looking bike lane-far right a parking lane that becomes a traffic lane for cars turning right?
Is that correct??

I'm a FRAPPER- so I'm not accustomed to having cars driving on both sides of me.
It wouldn't particularly please me-since I generally don't trust cars to hold their line-so I ALWAYS like to have a "bail right" option.
Many poor drivers STILL do a left "swing" before making a right turn.
Yeah it is their fault for being incompetent drivers-but ......
that swing left to turn right- still really common-

I kinda wonder-folks who lane control by using a far left positioning-do cars ever just blow by on the right-just taking your lane from you??
This accident-doubt it had anything to do with road design-looks like a simple "I din't see him until it was too late" crash. Yeah he was distracted-looking down-didn't see the rider until he hit the windshield.
Broad daylight- good weather- experienced no doubt well above average driver-what else could it be??(ok medical problem either person-remote possibility)
