Many riders fear bicycling through a challenging interchange, especially when it includes diverging lanes, heavy traffic, and complicated markings. These locations can feel confusing, even for experienced cyclists. In this post, we break down three strategies for getting through a complex diverging-lane interchange safely and confidently. Each strategy is demonstrated in its own video.
Our example interchange is Palomar Airport Road at I-5. Caltrans has recently painted a bike lane through this area (shown in the diagram above), but because two right-side lanes diverge into interstate ramps, using the lane as intended requires a high level of awareness and skill.
