Here’s a first look at Quezon City’s new bike lane barriers along Katipunan Avenue (C-5). I took these photos while crawling towards Ateneo Gate 3 on my way to the office.
The same or similar barriers/planters have been installed along other major roads including Commonwealth Avenue. This is part of Quezon City’s commitment to building a bikeway/bike lane network and a worthy investment to encourage more people to take up cycling especially for work and school trips. The barriers serve to protect cyclists from motor vehicles thereby enhancing safety along these roads. Hopefully, other LGUs will follow suit and invest in active transport facilities.
