The main point of building protected lanes was to make biking in the city safer. But when the NYC Department of Transportation recently studied the impact of the lanes, they found a secondary benefit: on several different avenues in Manhattan, the lanes actually helped speed up car traffic. So improving the bicycle infrastructure helps move cars along, too? And by speed up they are referring to speeds well below the 25 MPH speed limit -- they are talking about congestion. vox/2014/9/8/6121129/bike-lanes-traffic-new-york?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=voxdotcom&utm_content=monday
