I ride on a stretch of road that has a bike lane that transitions (squeezes cyclists) onto a narrow road with no shoulder and poor quality surface. Even the sidewalk ends at this transition, forcing pedestrians onto the road.
This transition happens on an incline, so anyone on foot or bike will be going slower. Naturally, this seems to piss off drivers as if you’ve insulted their mother.
I always laugh, swear, and shake my head at the “share the road” sign at this section, as if it’s been put there as a big FU to anyone not in a motor vehicle.
The municipalities that do this sort of thing really have no idea what cycling or walking alongside aggressive SUV drivers, who refuse to share the road, is like.
It’s like a joke by this point.
