At the same time,some of the walkers are morans. They stop and block the walk lanes or waunder over to the bike lane with no thought whatsoever about who is coming up behind them. For them how about a “Be Considerate Of Walkers Behind You!” Signs?

Right now it looks like a highway traffic lane…

It is, primarily, an observation deck and walkway. The signage needs to convey this.

Putting up signs is a very reasonable and cost effective solution; it should be done.

Also, the Bk bridge bikers really do need to SLOW DOWN. It’s such a narrow pathway. I know you’re in a hurry to get home from work but just chill out. Tourists will wander over the lines into the bike area, so don’t race through their yelling at them.

There are plenty of cops on the bridge, maybe they could enforce a 3 mph bike speed limit?

After a while, you get blase about fireworks around here, esp. when South Street Seaport has them every week, anyway.

and per the walker/biker discussion I agree with the well stated opinion of Bridge Walker, as a walker and biker myself

the completely aggressive nature of the bike riders in general poses a very dangerous situation for walkers. unfortunately it is unlikely to be address until a bad accident happens.

re: the lanes, it’s silly to expect cyclists to walk their bikes because people can’t read the signs. despite being a tourist attraction, the bridge is mode of a transportation for both cars and cyclists. understand that both sides feel crowded, respect is due to commuters and tourists alike.
