Conflict between traffic categories should be avoided. Here is the situation at on of the bus-stops by our hospital in Bergen. Cyclist in both directions use the pavement. People travelling by bus are disturbed by this cyclists when entering or leaving the bus. The reason is that the cyclists feel unsafe in the street because there is no bicycle lane there. Cyclists are not separated from cars.
The road leads throug a tunnel under the hospital. A separate passage is used by cyclists and pedestrians. What happens to the cyclist if the door in the wall that lead down from the hospital suddenly opens? And why are the walls accepted to be so tagged?
The next bus-stop looks in about the same way. The pavement is narrow, so the cyclists turn out into the street again. But just after the bus-stop, the cyclists are squeezed between the bus and a mast, or they have to resign and enter the pavement again. It's said that this trap will be removed. The plan is to extend a bicycle lane, enlarge the crossroads and change it to a roundabout where also space for cyclists are considered. Anyway we are waiting for a better situation.
