Eyes on the Street: New Armadillo-Type Bike Lane Delineators on Adams

From LA.Streetsblog.org

LADOT recently installed hard-plastic delineators on Adams Boulevard and on Spring Street. They’re already reducing some dangerous driving behavior.

In 2021, the City of L.A. Transportation Department (LADOT) added buffered bike lanes to about two miles of Adams Boulevard in South Los Angeles. The project removed a travel lane. A few aggressive drivers sometimes chose to ignore the new street markings and drive in the new bike space.

To keep drivers out of the bike lanes, the city later added some soft hit posts, at the start of most blocks.
