Perhaps I misunderstand but how does one stay 3 feet clear of a bicylist when passing on the streets in TV. Most of these TV streets are narrow, especially those with designated cartpaths Maintaining a 3 foot separation practically puts you over the center line. I have made it a practic to drive in the left hand lane whil driving in TV for that very reason.
My complaint, both verbal and in writing since I moved here has to do with the multi-modal pathways. They are unsafe as ae many of the roadways given the lifestyle. I have witnessed people going out of their way to be accomodating but given the design and the lifestyle they are accidents waiting to happen. Now add to that the slower reactions by seniors and you have a recipe for disaster. Travel the cartpath at dawn or dusk and you will realize that some pedestrians and bicylist make no atttempt at safety issues, light clothing lightts, etc. add to that the headlights coming from carts and cars and a driver on a cart is blinded. Its why I drive very very slow at those times. forgive me but the 3 foot rule is stupid. the State needs to find better remedies as does TV
