Oh well, yet another place it's impossible to park and drop a wheelchair ramp. That blue thing with the red-zone paint and curb cut is a bus stop. Buses are wheelchair accessible but too few and difficult to access for a person who's well-buggered-up.
It’s Santa Monica, there are a ton of bus stops (OP rode past one in the first 10 seconds of the video) and this isn’t every single road, or even most of them. Bike lanes that aren’t protected from traffic lead to dead cyclists, which on balance I think is probably worse than using the bus stop or getting out one block over.
What are your referring to? It is pretty accessible from what I can see. It's illegal to build things that aren't accessible. Americans with Disabilities Act had pretty good specs
No the bus stop is perfectly accessible! It shows they know exactly how to design a handicap space for this type of bike lane, so people with ramped minivans could park. But they don't. All the others have the narrow raised cement lump, that leaves a ramp hanging into the air 6" above the middle of the bike lane.
Oh the car parking 🫣. I guess I hate cars so much I didn't care to notice
Fair enough, we're in the right instance.
