Description
The bike line headed West on Lafayette Street is usually blocked by cars using it as a turn lane. I ride my bike every day to work and I have to bike in the car lane or wait behind cars in the bike line who are turning right onto Chrysler. Despite road painting and a "share the road" sign, cars use the bike lane as a turn lane. Further down the road there are dividers in the bike lane, shielding bikers and blocking cars from entering. I would love to see these dividers added to this stretch of road to keep cars out of the bike lane.

Traffic Enforcement Unit monitored the area in question for several days, but they were unable to locate a violation on those days. We also understand that this does not mean the issue is solved and will revisit this complaint in the near future as a follow-up.
Thank you for using Improve Detroit.
