    I guess just municipalities describe it differently then. My city describes protected bike lanes as “dedicated bike lanes with concrete medians and planters, bicycle parking corrals, or vehicle parking lanes that divide them from vehicle traffic.”

    The google image someone else posted of the street, to me, shows a regular bike lane.

    Doesn’t change anything about this awful incident anyway, just thought the choice of words was interesting. Especially since later on in the article it says her death may have been prevented had there been a concrete median.
