Underpass with curb
|
|
|
|
The path curves as it approaches an underpass it shares with a stream, which runs in a culvert covered by wooden planks -- slippery when wet. It is usual to think that a curb which prevents wheels from crossing increases safety. That is so with baby strollers and the like, but not with bicycles. The wooden curb at the edge of the path here will sweep the wheels out from under a bicycle which strays into it, causing a hard crash. A railing at least 48 inches high, set back from the edge of the path, would be appropriate.
