Was visiting a wisconsin town this weekend and observed this nightmare-ish bike lane configuration.. the road’s speed limit is 25mph, but has a massive 500’ acceleration lane. Gonna guess how many people actually obey the speed limit here?

The dashed lines denoting merging across the bike lane are a whopping 482 feet long!

It's possible. However, all that is lost if drivers are doing more than double the speed limit.
