My city is full of these Cloverleaf interchanges where cars exiting the freeway are merging into high speed traffic.

So I get to pedal down this road and get sandwiched between buses/trucks on the left and merging cars on the right. Legitimately the worst part of my commute where I might actually die. Fun!

    Yikes. That merge cries out for some kind of physical barrier to enforce the bike lane. Does your municipality track cyclist accidents by location? I’d want to know how many people got mowed down there before riding on it.

      I don’t know per location but my city (San Jose) is infamous for the number of pedestrian and cyclist deaths per year :(
