But at least some separation there... Why don't more people bike from #Portland to #Beaverton? Could it be the way ODOT sits on this segment like a selfish old dragon, the way it does all of the deadly urban #stroads in our metro area? #Vision60or70something #ODOTGTFOpdx

Pavement being destroyed by speeding drivers, crumbling the foundation to sand before ODOT'll hand it over to local jurisdictions. Right lane is effectively bus-and-turn only, just paint it red some and let's go. #VisionZero

overly-wide lanes, free left turns everywhere and extra space reserved for cars in places where you can't even turn left, a "Bike on roadway" sign cowering off to the far side of the sidewalk at one point (no sidewalks at other points, of course.) I catch up to the driver who farted their cloud of car stink in my face, and they belatedly activate a turn signal.
