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.

Drivers routinely run red light on Los Osos Valley Road, even when children are crossing the crosswalk to school. Enforcement needed.

Crossing has been closed now for almost 2 yrs and County is not prioritizing this. Elementary school buses/drop or pickup forced to use Huasna Rd with unsafe conditions and decrepit bridge. Fire danger due to increased response times created by closure. Affects all categories.

The intersection of Biddle Ranch Road with Orcutt Road is dangerous for those turning left from Biddle onto Orcutt heading north. The height of the hedge obstructs the vision for those in smaller cars.

drivers do not seem aware of the bikes lanes and amount of bike traffic here. my friend was hit and ended up on the hood of a car by someone pulling out of this apartment complex without looking in the bike lane. My suggestion is widening the bike lane, adding green paint and signage, much like chorro.
