This is Broadway from Ocean to about 26th.
It's inconsistent: it confuses drivers and causes problems with cyclists. |
It's only a problematic area of six blocks, where the separated portion exists, the rest is fine … well, 'fine' to the extent of your tolerance of a painted bike lane, but at least there are none of the atypical visibility issues.

Agreed, just a matter of setting expectations. And, in the case of these protected lanes, the projects aren't just useless but actually decrease safety for cyclists and increase the probability of incidents (that's my opinion, not claiming to base it on actual data).
