I live in an high traffic area where there are a lot of scenic multi use bike paths. The paths are a great alternative if you want to avoid cars or the hilly streets. But riding these paths can be a maddening experience because you often encounter people who take up the entire path.
On my last ride I encountered three moms who took up the entire lane pushing their baby strollers. I called my city's Parks department and asked them what could be done about the situation. We discussed remedy's such as painting a yellow line down the middle of the path or educating users of the path. They seemed aware of the situation and agreeable to doing something about it but I need to submit some ideas to them in writing.
I'm wondering if anyone lives in an area where your multi use bike paths have a yellow line and it helped remedy the problems mentioned above? Does anyone have examples of where educational signs have helped? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help. Carmen
