In this case the pictures speak for themselves. There is no doubt that this creates a potential conflict between riders and vehicle traffic. The rider has little choice but to merge into the adjacent lane to avoid the obstacle, but the average speed of traffic is 45-50 mph on this section of Longley Lane. This is a less than idealistic traffic pattern in any situation....what takes the cake is this parking lot and construction is directly in front of the Washoe County Roads Department office! One would hope that this construction site (of all places) could apply better construction traffic routing than this. It's also on my list of pet peeves because it's been in this state of "construction" for ~ 3 weeks now. Strike one for Washoe County Roads Department.
