I think new bike lanes inspire a lot of new time riders, and as they get a bit more experience navigating in the city, people learn the rules

It would help if the infrastructure was more complete. Panting an arrow on the ground doesn't count, there should be one way signs. Same thing at intersections for cars; cars need to know which direction to be looking for bike traffic from. At least on Brattle, the bikes are in the same spot. On Garden, it's much more likely someone is going to get hooked by a car (especially if the cyclist is going the wrong direction). Reminds me of the new bike lane installed near Beech street that will absolutely get someone killed. Why they installed a bike light that is green while cars are able to turn blows my mind

Cambridge needs to remember universal standards are universal for a reason. Not everyone driving in Cambridge is from Cambridge!

Yes. And a walk light. And the wait at the light in a car is 3x as long. That intersection is all kinds of wrong.
