@DrTCombs Is this a sidewalk you're even supposed to be on with a bike? The ones I love are the "you can just ride your bike on the sidewalk" "oh, bikes aren't allowed on the sidewalk" combos.
@wordshaper @DrTCombs another fun one is that Oregon law bans e-bikes from sidewalks, and the transportation planners will build a brand new "multi-use path" and designate it as the bikeway, but there is no such legal definition, so it's technically a sidewalk (and we have a mandatory sidepath law so then you're not allowed to ride in the street either) i.e. you can risk a legal battle or get in a car.
@wordshaper
I normally ride the wrong way on the opposite sidewalk (signs be damned) because we normally take a left at the bottom of the hill, and I'd rather take our chances with driveways and try and cross 5 lanes of speeding traffic.
But today we needed to go right, so we had to take the poison ivy side.
