It's kind of a dilemma: motor traffic creates a "sweep" effect to clean
the shoulder/bike lane of debris. (Kind of a symbiotic
relationship...they sweep our lanes, and we...hmm, what do we do for
them? Ah, traffic-calming!) Barriers hinder this. We just don't want
the metal monsters there at the same time as the cyclist.
