This afterthought of gutter cycle lanes you have there are terrible. A cycle lane needs to be separate from the roads, as all they're doing is making cyclists complacent, giving them a false green light.
if you're gonna cycle on roads, you might as well just cycle on roads. Painting a stripe along the side is doing nothing for you, from what i can see.
The problem is overlapping grids. Bike paths (MUPS) are wonderful along rivers and freeways where there are no roads crossing them.
They are a major pain when a road crosses them every block, and not necessarily safer as they can make the cyclists harder to view, and perhaps give a false sense of safety to cyclists.
