Imagine this is a "sharrow"...

Meanwhile In Red Bank NJ: 20261105

Just taking a brief look and making a couple of notes about the town’s much vaunted pedestrian safety scheme now being installed on the offset intersection on Drs James Parkers Blvd and Bridge St.
Hard to believe the mayor and council paid $70k to their consultants to come up with this mess.
Is that centre island wide enough to safely accommodate a person with a child buggy, or pushing a wheelchair as they attempt to use the cross-walk?

So, how are people riding bicycles from the west side to access to the town’s only (admittedly poorly maintained) bike lanes on S Bridge?

Best information on scheme available from town hall… posted on Facebook
Reminder, total deaths on NJ roads are falling this year… Pedestrian and cycling deaths are actually up on last year.
I foresee some spectacularly dangerous moves by impatient drivers to make left turns whilst avoiding, or not, the centre island.
