On: 12-Foot Traffic Lanes Are Bad for Safety and Shoul...

But with 12 foot lanes, you can adjust the lanes after the fact to 10 foot lanes and put bike lanes everywhere!

2 feet is inadequate for a bike lane. I just measured the width of my bicycle and it's 23.5 inches, so even if I rode perfectly central I'd have only a quarter inch clearance each side. And my bike is not unusually wide.

But if it's a 2 lane road (4 total), then you'll have 4 feet for the bike lane.
