Maybank Highway CAN be reconfigured to accommodate bicyclists!
Top image shows much of Maybank in Charleston as it HAS BEEN. SCDOT was planning to re-jigger lane widths to allow 14' outside lanes, which would make it somewhat safer for cars and bicyclists to coexist----but wouldn't consider bike lanes.
Next image down shows a reconfiguration we submitted, with the help of professional friends.
It allows for 4' ACTUAL BICYCLE LANES on each side. (The configuration is supported by the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices --- MUTCD.)
The bottom image shows a slightly different configuration for auto travel lanes, with the same width bicycle lanes. (again, supported in MUTCD)
KEEP READING TO GET TO THE LETTER WE SENT TO SCDOT SECRETARY H.B. "BUCK" LIMEHOUSE.
