Some in Salisbury and Newburyport were taken by surprise when MassDOT added bike lanes on the bridge between the communities, leaving just one lane for drivers in each direction.
When new bike lanes suddenly popped up on the bridge between the Massachusetts communities of Salisbury and Newburyport, it threw drivers for a loop.
"All of a sudden, it was changed," said Newburyport resident Hailey Boulia."So I think driving to work in the morning, I have to remember where I'm supposed to be."The merge comes up quickly, and drivers can end up in the new buffer lane between bikes and cars very easily.Sign up for NECN newsletters.
"To take up a whole lane of traffic, I just think is ludicrous," said Chuck Takesian, chair of the Salisbury Board of Selectmen."This is probably the most complaints I've gotten on any single issue." One concern is that there's no physical barrier between the driving lanes and the bike lanes — there are just painted lines in the buffer zone.
"I think it's a good idea to have the bike lane to promote people getting outside and moving around, but I do think it could be a little dangerous," said Newburyport resident Max Madden.
