Another video of the Sharrows in Long beach. Some duchebag interrupts the interview to complain about the shared lane. Get a clue.

I checked this out this morning.
The green lanes are very cool and empowering. It felt great to ride this.
Cars are now actually paying attention to me.
The lanes run for only 6 tenths of a mile, but I hope with success the program will grow.
As it is, the green lane make a lot of sense at this location.
There is regular traffic congestion and traffic lights every (short) block.
Traffic rolls slowly, but with street parking there is no space for bikes other than squeezing by in the door zone or taking the lane.
These green lanes make it much easier and comfortable for cyclist to take the lane and ride safely away from swing doors.
