A cool mapping / biking safety story out of B.C Canada (via SFU News Online) Cyclists setting out to ride the 120-km Sea to Sky Highway between Horsebay and Whistler, BC can check out hazardous areas on a new map developed by a group of fourth-year SFU geography students. An accompanying study details various safety issues such as road-shoulder width, drainage, road maintenance and signage. The map itemizes 20 different hazards along the winding mountainside route, including road-shoulder widths as narrow as 38 cm, drain grates with openings wider than bike tires, poor road and marker maintenance, and a lack of signage for motorists or directions for bikers using intersections. The students, some of whom are avid cyclists, began the Geography 455 project in January, driving the route several times and stopping to note hazards, then cycling the route to assess it from the cyclist’s perspective
