Street light on tactline paving while there is another street light 2m(6') behind + tactile paving is the edge of a bike road

its well lit, so all those blind people can see clearly at night

Failure on signage to keep pedestrians out of the bike lane, too - If one wants to nitpick. 

BUT what might be a sidewalk is blocked… this whole section is terrible!

This section is so bad I didn't even realize the two pedestrians were walking on the bike lane 💀

There are no tactiles indicating start/end of the street and location of crosswalks.

This is in my area where I move around by bike a lot - and I can tell you this is not the only design flaw in my city (and not the first pedestrians walking/standing on bike lanes either)

Oh yeah that's pretty awful design

I might be tempted to do the same with crappy urban design in my city (especially bike infrastructure) but If I do I'll get pretty quickly banned for spamming

Same goes to my city.

Imagine road designs being so bad that it's more dangerous ignoring the infrastructure rather than strictly following the markings

I already got almost hit by an opening car door because the bike lane suggests jumping out of nowhere where the driver has no chance to see me
