The ninja-like San Francisco Municipal Transformation Authority (SFMTrA) has been creating makeshift bike lanes with orange cones throughout the city. While their work is generally a code violation, one particular renegade bike lane will stay, CityLab reported.
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency will keep an SFMTrA bike lane at the entrance to Golden Gate Park. They used white “safe-hit posts,” rather than the usual orange cones, so the city has decided to keep their handiwork until they can install their own bike safety lane.
We’ve been active tonight.

This particular installation was inspired by a Twitter user and cyclist who reported nearly getting hit by a large bus that veered into the bike lane while making that turn. We wanted to show that an improvement at that location would be easy, cheap and could be done quickly.”The group has funded, at least in-part, their renegade bike lane activity through crowdsourcing on Tilt.
