Advantages Of Green Bike Lane Markings

By Timothy West


Employees, students, and common individuals, need certain kinds of transportation to be able to go to their desired destination. Some prefer driving their own cars. Others prefer taking the bus or train because paying a ticket is way cheaper than buying gas for your car.

Although these kinds of transportation are very common worldwide, some people unfortunately cannot afford buying a ticket or purchasing gasoline. You cannot exactly walk in going to school or work, except for those people with ridiculously lucky locations. Resort to investing on a bike instead. Just make sure your place has green bike lane markings.

It can offer you a lot of profits and savings. Just hop on your bicycle, sweat your legs off, and as easy as pie, you are already at your designated location. Water is all you need because you get dehydrated from riding a bicycle. Still, it is much cheaper than gas or a ticket.

Your problem has been solved. It is now very possible to go anywhere you like because you got yourself an awesome wheeled vehicle. But the real question lies in the place you are going from and going to. With cars present everywhere and drivers who do not care for anyone else, an accident is most likely to happen.

A line marking is a colored pavement which has the role of a bicycle lane. The color green increases the visibility of the bicycle. It also identifies potential areas of conflict between cars and bikes. Consistent color application all over the bicycle way corridor is important to promote clear understanding to all motorists.

These lane markings can encourage the car drivers to always follow their specific ways. In this way, collision of cars and bikes are lessened to a high degree. Motorists are never permitted to drive inside the bicycle lane except when they are planning to park or to cross an intersection. This will also discipline them to precede traffic regulations.

The bike lane markings also discourages motorists from illegally parking at the side of the streets. It is an effective way to ensure that the lanes will remain unoccupied by illegally parked cars. These hard headed motorists prevent the traffic to keep on flowing because their motionless cars are in the way.

The bright colored green markings also increases the visibility of the cyclist. Sometimes, mostly during at night, cyclists are not that visible when on the route. Despite the tail lights installed at the back of it, it is not enough to be seen from a far distance. Knowing that the cyclists are present along the road ahead of time can spare a lot of precious lives.

Most cyclists are scared of riding their bicycle in streets and roads that are heavy with super fast driving cars and huge buses. Bikes are an easy prey of unfortunate occurrence because they are the most vulnerable ones to be hit. Because of this, they resort to staying at the sidewalks. Pedestrians are now inconvenienced because even walking at the side streets become dangerous.
