A bike lane would’ve helped. If there wasn’t one, I can see a good reason for whatever the fuck really happened here.
If there had been a bike lane, he could/would have stayed there behind the stopping line acknowledging the right of the ambulance to go first, but without one…I can see someone in panic trying to get out of the way and then getting run over regardless of where he was positioned.
Youre ignoring the bike lanes are separate from the car lanes, which protects cyclists. But in the US the firedept doesn’t like that. Lanes need to be so wide and space so clear that the bikes have no space
I’m not sure I get what you’re saying, or what I’m missing.
I’m talking about the most basic kind of bike lane, which by all means is just a line on the tarmac.
It does however ensure that the bike has a place to be, and that the bike will be visible to the cars, because the bike lane’s stopping line is further ahead than that of the cars.
I also don’t know the exact situation from the article, but if the bike had been at the stopping line in this bike lane, it would never conflict with a right turning ambulance.
I still don’t have any clue about what part of my comment you object against, or why you’re so fucking negative about it.
All I’m saying is that the right turn accident was completely preventable by making a simple painted line on the tarmac, as it is done in many places where there isn’t room for the kind of huge separated bike lanes as shown in your photo.

Why bother doing all that, saying you dont understand when you could have just watched the video lmao.
Get out sometime, see what things look like in the world instead of drawing images in your own little view.
