[SDCBC] ignoring a detour & bike lane closed signs

[Steve McNeil]

MessageIf my memory serve me right, what was dumb about that detour was that
it didn;t have the nice wide shoulders (we had to squeeze between the parked
cars and the traffic) and the speed limit on part of that street was higher
than what it was on Pacific Highway.

  The most significant "detour" for cyclists (in my estimation) was on
Pacific Coast Highway between San Clemente and Dana Harbor about a year ago.
The detour had a big climb on it, and it was a mile or so longer. Some
cyclists were cited, but I think they won. I don't have the details, but the
OC people do.

      The only places I'm currently aware of that have the word 'detour' for
bicyclists are on freeway locations that are closed to bicyclists, such as
on I15 between Via Rancho Parkway and Center City Parkway, or on Otay Mesa
Road where it becomes 905.

    If I recall correctly, the situation in Carlsbad on the grade
approaching Palomar Airport Road on s/b El Camino Real that we discussed a
couple of years ago on this list included a "detour" for bikes sign, but
maybe it was just "bike lanes closed".  In fact, that was the situation I
pictured when I first read Richard's "hypothetical".
