Safe bicycling towards Pease tradeport/C&J bus stop from Rte 33
-
Safe bike route alternative to avoid the not-safe-for-bike downtown
-
It would be great if in the future there would be a pedestrian/bicycle railroad crossing here. (The train goes so infrequently, and the bartlett st bridge is really only safe for cars)
-
Safe bike route alternative to avoid the not-safe-for-bike downtown
(This is the road I meant, not State St!)
-
Relatively safe for biking. Wide road allows for safe space for cyclists (especially downhill)
-
bike to west end shops & restaurants in a safe environment (while avoiding the hill on Aldrich)
-
bikeable.
-
Do not bike here. Too many lanes and distracted drivers.

Not safe for bikes. Drivers are confused by multiple lanes and pedestrians.
-
The "sharrows" are ineffective. Cars are confused when cyclists pour onto the road from the bike lane. Complicated traffic patterns around intersections with State and Congress leave drivers distracted and creating hazards for cyclists.
-
Note safe for bikes: Cars go too fast, too many distractions, complicated traffic patterns, (in some segments: too many lanes)
-
bikeable route towards the water. (Despite rough pavement between Brackett / NewCastle Ave)
-
Despite the 20mph speed limit, there is no shoulder and cars are very impatient (even when biking downhill). --- I would never bike this street uphill, its uncomfortably steep and there is no way to avoid cars.
-
Safe bikeable route, despite the frequent stop signs
-
Not bikeable.
-
While it looks like a bikeable alternative to Route 1, you are taking your life into your hands if you take this road: Lack of shoulder, many curves/hills, cars going too fast on this road.

Relatively safe road to bike (especially uphill).

We use the bike path a lot. Its just unfortunate when its full of debris and the uneven manhole covers can unseat a cyclist.
-
When on a bike, I use Lincoln St as much as I can, because its flat and a calmer street. But the stop signs at every intersection make it inefficient for cycling.
It would become more valuable to make this a "4-way Stop" for cars, and a "4-way yield for bicycles" road. (Especially since its labeled as a cycle street).
-
I walk with a baby stroller now and the sidewalks along this stretch are in awful condition for anyone that uses wheels for transportation
-
State Street, is calmer, but the hill is uncomfortably steep for biking, and between stop signs and cars that pop out of side streets the experience is unpleasant.
-
The "sharrows" are ineffective. I get regularly insulted by drivers, sometimes spit at when I try to bike here. I would love to avoid this patch, but there are no reasonable alternatives for biking from the end of Middle St towards Court St / downtown.
