Please include stop bars for vehicles on and adjacent to the bridges. Many times vehicles will encroach into the crosswalks.

Please provide buffered bike lanes here. There is excess and unused roadway space that could go to bicyclists here especially because the national bus driver shortage has resulted in significantly more students walking/biking to school in Nipomo.

Please consider raising bike lanes to be at same level as sidewalk in these locations. I would like for the bikes to actually be safe here at this bridge.

The portion of Tefft Street from Pomeroy Road Mary Avenue has excess roadway width and driving lanes. Please reduce lane widths and create a cycle track or separate biking facility as vehicles excessively speed along this stretch.

The NB onramp is too short and creates a lot of turbulence because merging vehicles are going too slow. Add to that, poor roadway geometrics and superelevation. This area consistently backs up.

The guardrail on the south side obstructs the sight triangle. Going EB on Vineyard I've had to slam on my brakes because a car turns right from the offramp right in front of me.

I feel very unsafe turning left from Santa Fe Rd onto Tank Farm. EB vehicles are going very fast and it's hard to find a gap to complete the turn. Can the striping be updated so turning vehicles can at least complete the movement in 2 stages (provide a median refuge)?

The shoulder is very narrow.

I use this route to commute between San Luis Obispo and Arroyo Grande regularly. It has become more congested with faster drivers. Sometimes the white line has an eroded, leaving cyclist to ride on the right side of the lane.

The shoulder is extremely uneven along Ontario Ridge Rd and makes it difficult to ride on. I often have to swerve out into the car lane to avoid poor pavement.

Turning left into the bike lane is an absolute nightmare. Cars merge into poorly the marked bike lane and almost hit cyclists like myself all the time.

Narrow shoulder and speeding cars.

This section of South Bay Blvd is very dangerous for bikes. The shoulder has encroaching plants that push bikes all the way to the white line. Curves create blind spots where cars can't see the bikes ahead of them, drivers cut the corners, and there is no bike lane -- just a very narrow, weedy shoulder. It is the only bike route from Los Osos to Morro Bay, and I've had several near misses, especially with RVs and other recreational vehicles going to and from the state park and campground.

Increased traffic on Santa Barbara road from new housing developments to the east near and Paloma Park has made entering and exiting driveways for residents who live off Santa Barbara Road dangerous. The new traffic speeds, rushes upon residents who slow to turn into their driveway, blares their horn for residents who need to slow to make a sharp turn. It has become unnecessarily stressful to have this occurrence happen a couple times a week around the rush-hour times just before 8am and between 4pm-6pm daily. Everyone who has a driveway off Santa Barbara Road experiences this. Our kids used to be able to easily cross the street to the sidewalk and walk or bike to Paloma Park - not anymore because of the increased speeding traffic. This new traffic of drivers exit 101 and race to their home destination on the other side of El Camino treating the Santa Barbara Road segment from 101 to El Camino like its part of the highway and a thoroughfare. The new developments benefit from the easy access to a public space, however it has removed long standing residents from ability and ease to participate safely as pedestrians, bikers and even drivers.

I enjoy bike commuting to work, but on my way home, the intersection at Niblick and Spring is very busy.
There is no designated bikeway when turning from Spring St onto Niblick, heading East. I must be in the turn lane with cars--yikes. Would like a designated bikeway for this--it would also encourage more bike ridersLiked 0 times -
My family likes to bike to the Atascadero Lake park and zoo from the Santa Barbara Road/El Camino residential neighborhood area. There is no shoulder for bikes nor a walk path that is safe, blind corners and speeding cars. Would be great to focus on connecting communities and promote pedestrian and bicycling traffic as opposed to having to go everywhere in a car!

Drivers pass me (on my bike) at this blind curve almost every day during the school year. There have been so many near misses when there's an oncoming car in the other direction.

With how fast cars drive on LOVR, protected bike lanes are necessary. Drivers in this area do not like to share the road with cyclists.

Bicycles going straight down Higuera are expected to pass to the right of cars in a right-turn-only lane. Such drivers are often looking left to see when they can turn right-on-red, and can be surprised to find a bicyclist to their right. This is especially problematic when the light turns green or the pedestrian/bicycle proceed-signal comes on. This is a recipe for T-boning.

Flashing cross walk needs to be installed. So many kids walk up and down this road and there is no way to safely cross here.

There is no bike path to get from the Madonna bike path to the bike lane on Marsh Street. There is a small sidewalk that goes under the highway, but there isn't enough room for pedestrians and cyclists. Also, you are forced to cross in the middle of the 101 Northbound on ramp as cars are accelerating. Very dangerous!

A driver coming up S.L. Drive and planning to turn right on Johnson pulled forward through the bike lane without checking for bike traffic and I (coming down Johnson in the bike lane) plowed into the side of his car.
