Of course this is the "official answer..." along with the
host of other get-off-the-bike-and-push-the-button "solutions"
provided throughout the city... including, the classic stairway at
Mission Bay Drive and Damon Street (just west of Sante Fe).
<br><br>
And of course, my favorite... along the somewhat new 56 bike
path... where cyclists have to either ride on the wrong side of the
path or dismount to push the walk buttons (what, the technology didn't
exist to put in sensors such as those used all over Santa
Barbara?). <br><br>
The real irony of the 56 path is that while cyclists have to face such
awkward maneuvers, horse back riders have their own special
"tall" buttons on the eastern portion of that bikeway...
so cyclists don't even get equal treatment with horse back riders.
Go figure. <br><br>
Nope, throughout San Diego County... we are constantly reminded of
the "toy" status of cycling. (get off and walk, kiddos...
)<br>
<br>
Of course the flip side is we do get bike lanes on 55 MPH roads.
(never mind the lane changes over the blind rise... ) <br><br>
Sigh... <br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I'll bet the official answer is:
stay in the bike lane (on southwest bound LJCD) until you get to the
intersection, dismount, press the walk signal, when it's green, look for
right-on-red turners heading for I-5 north, walk across the road in the
crosswalk, then mount and proceed on the path.<br><br>

<dd>I haven't seen any similar signs in this county but how about hanging
something similar to "except bikes" to the no U-turn
sign.<br><br>
<dd>And/or get who ever decided to post the no U-turn sign to explain how
bicyclists were expected to make the connection to the bike path....

<dd>I guess one could ride up to the Park and Ride and turn around there
or maybe on up a mile or so to the next traffic light. Overall, it
seems like there is a real problem there, I don't see an easy fix but a
fix is definitely needed.<br><br>
<dd>What do the folks in the know say about about plans for this
region???<br><br>
