Description
It is illegal for bicyclists to ride the wrong direction on one-way streets; yet bicyclists do it all the time at Yale (see photo). This is a safety hazard to bicyclists, drivers, and pedestrians.

If it is safe for bicyclists to ride against traffic on these streets, then Transportation, Traffic & Parking should work with the Yale Office of New Haven and State Affairs to stripe contra-flow bike lanes on Wall and High Streets so that bicyclists do not feel forced to break the law.

This is a great idea. Yale students ride against traffic on this street all day long.

I agree with Tang: If this is safe, it would be great to see it striped as such. Nice work tang.

I bike the wrong way here on a regular basis since there is never any traffic. Doesn't it makes sense for the city to promote bike traffic on roads with little to no car traffic? The city should turn this block of High Street into a bike boulevard of sorts and add bike lanes.
