This is the worst spot in all of SLO! As others have said, continuing S. on Higuera at the intersection of Madonna is sketchy. From the bike lane, you have to cut across two lanes of traffic and ride in one of the two left lanes for a stretch, all without a green bike lane. Furthermore, cars are switching lanes all over the place trying to make their turn.

Turning left from Bridge St. onto Higuera S. is very difficult due to car traffic. It should have a pedestrian signal. Also, no right-turn on red for cars turning right from Madonna to Higuera.

There are 'bump ahead' signs on the shoulder of 46 on both sides where there is repaved road due to subsidence. These shoulders are VERY dangerous to bicycle on. We have had two riders seriously injured from our bike club here going south. One had to be airlifted out with broken bones and another just broke his leg seriously today. The paving is crumbled asphalt which caused them to lose control of their bikes, descending fast with the downhill slope. It needs to be swept clean and made as smooth as possible or blocked off with signs that say "Walk your bike" to clue in the riders how bad it is when they hit this area. My partner and I hit it with our tandem bike and had to go into the moving traffic lane over the rumble strip to escape wiping out on the loose asphalt and then we had cars honking at us that wouldn't move over to give us room. This was also very dangerous. It is an extremely dangerous situation.

Cars travelling at high speeds in wide section of roadway cut on to should around corner and make it unsafe to for anyone not in a vehicle.

High vehicle speeds with no separation while riding on a bike on the shoulder. The rumble strip was put in the area where bikers ride past the white line so there isn't even a warning until cars are already in the bike lane.

Although there is a painted bike lane for this portion of Niblick you truly take your life in your hands cycling here. The bike lane is too narrow and is often full of trash cans being picked up and the two lanes of traffic are also too narrow and speeds too high. There is no good east west connection for bikes in Paso. Creston Road is even worse, although there are improvements going on there.

Vine Street has a poorly maintained bike lane. The paving looks like it hasn't been street swept in a very long time so there is gravel, and deteriorated paving. There are also grooves wide enough and parallel to driving direction for bike tires to get caught in and a rider to crash.

Speed limit is too high on Corbett Canyon. Road is narrow with many bends and hill summits giving poor line of sight. Also many driveways and side roads with vehicles entering.

Parking for anyone visiting the Monarch Butterfly Grove is spread along this area of Highway 1 and many people, including families with small children, cross the road. There is an urgent need for a crosswalk with flashing lights to protect these people from traffice (as on Ontario Rd near the Bob Jones Trail), or for more parking on the west side of Highway 1.

This road is disintegrating pretty badly (especially north of Santa Clara Rd & before the new houses). Potholes, gravel, getting dangerous.

Recent events at the Speedway have led to cars parking on the narrow edge of the roadway, and attendees walking to the event location impeding traffic. This is a dangerous situation and someone is going to get hurt. Also traffic along Hutton Road is getting busier each year. Turing in and out of Vista Del Rio is getting more difficult due to this. Along with events at the Speedway impacting traffic on Hutton, a traffic light might be needed.

Near head-on collision with an elderly male driver in a grey Chevy Tahoe on April 10, 2024. He was driving the wrong way through the right turn lane. Missed me by about 2 feet.

The intersection of Orcutt and Righetti has always been unsafe as drivers heading north drive quickly over the hill, ignoring the recommended 35 mph signage. A car turning left from Righetti onto Orcutt faces a big risk as does a car turning right. As traffic on Orcutt gets heavier this has become even more hazardous.

Corbett Canyon Road is narrow and there is no shoulder. Bicycle riders on this road should try to stay off it during the commute hours in the evening. Sometimes they ride in groups and it's dangerous for them and drivers!

Bicyclist riding side by side around blind corners in the middle road causing motorists to choose between hitting a vehicle head on or hitting a cyclist. Bike lanes way too narrow to be safe.

This portion of the trail is typically covered with gravel from the parking lot. In addition, the radius of this curve seems too tight for bikes. Striping has mostly been wiped out.

There is not a crosswalk here, but a lot of folks try to cross here to get to the park. With so many cars parked on the street, it is hard to be safe as a driver and a pedestrian. The speed limit is high for how much foot traffic and parked cars for events.
