I was riding the Mississippi River Trail just south of Grafton, Illinois this weekend when I came upon this use of Rumble Strips. It shows a way that rumble strips can be made to benefit BOTH motorists and bicyclists.
It's an interesting and I would say excellent idea. In places where there are few to no intersections where a cyclist would want to turn left, it would give cyclists an extra bit of protection. They didn't need to use a double stripe; rumbling on the stripe like what TDOT sometimes does would be fine, were space at a premium.
