"I’ve seen drivers drift into and hit the berms, so they’re doing their job. If those weren’t there, drivers would be able to drive over the lane and hit someone," Zuniga said.

It does seems to be working according to one local.

Franklin contends bike lane safety features like what were installed in Vista are part of what he calls an “anti-vehicle agenda.”

Me think mayor is lying about the data, not uncommon for politician.

Yea, thousands of people reached out saying remove them. Really? Thousands? In one area? Thousands of people do not contact their local officials. We'd be a very different country if that happened regularly.
