Opinion: Why Boston's Bike Lanes Fail Cyclists

A cyclist was killed in Boston last week when a large truck making a right turn struck her, continuing a pattern of similar fatal accidents involving trucks and cyclists over the past 14 years. These crashes often occur when the truck’s rear wheels sweep into bike lanes during turning maneuvers, posing a significant hazard to cyclists who may be in the truck's blind spot. Despite safety advice to stay behind large vehicles when they are moving or potentially turning, infrastructure and legal practices often fail to adequately protect cyclists, highlighting the need for improved protection and clearer traffic regulations.
