		<description><![CDATA[For the killing of woman from Elk Grove Village:

I don&#039;t get it: they make bad infrastructure worse to avoid killing of bicyclists?
I wouldn&#039;t expect drivers who don&#039;t look on &quot;normal&quot; intersections to make the extra look needed to detect bicyclists on separate ways. But maybe building this stuff takes the &quot;right of way&quot; from the bicyclists so that in future the killing of a bicyclist will always be the bicyclists fault...
To route bicyclists straight over an intersection parallel to the MIV which may turn right is another idiocy (if I understand correctly what you mentioned is going to get built there)
To picture this: http://radwege.udoline.de/pfeile.svg
It is even worse when the bicycle lane is offset by some meters and the bicyclists will be hidden by cars, hedges or shrubs like here:
http://bikeportland.org/2012/10/12/pbot-begins-re-design-of-ne-multnomah-now-with-more-protected-bikeways-78743
Sure I&#039;d like to know why bikportland never published my critical comment to that lane, but I guess that will never happen.
It seems everybody and every country has to repeat the errors others made already to learn themselves...

What (imo) would help: 
raise the sentences
make clear for drivers that bicylists are traffic as cars are (though I don&#039;t know how to teach this to some of the more stubborn)
And [as you say yourself] draconian speed limit enforcement.]]></description>
