When I was an 18 year old, I drove from Flake City to Kalamazoo every day for the summer. I was a floating Bank Teller. I played chicken with semis while driving my '70 Ford Maverick with bald tires.
One of our members told me it's the motorcycle lane. Makes sense now.Designed by an engineer of course!
we have something like that in gainesvilleOne of our members told me it's the motorcycle lane. Makes sense now.
Way too narrow for a motorcycle lane.
Same thing happened after Pink Floyd, 1975, they let them grow until they started talking.
You must not have a big bike. My Goldwing is 37” wide. That means the wheels touch down about where the curb is. If you have a crotch rocket, those are pretty narrow. Also, I’m not able to fill the tank without dismounting. If a gas station were actually going to design a motorcycles-only side, it would be double the width of that image and clearly mark it MOTORCYCLES ONLY. Neither of which is true in the proffered example.Depends on whether you get off the bike to fuel it. I don't, so I pull up very close to the pump so I can operate the card reader. Having the curb on the other side is a bonus so it's easier to flat-foot and balance the bike while I fill the tank. I can see that a big tourer or bagger might have trouble, but standards, sportbikes, and dual-sport/adventure bikes should have no issue.

You're not going to fit that in that ill-designed pump lane.
