  • Neuse River Greenway Trail Raleigh, North Carolina - Wake County
    I was trying to commute using the Neuse River Greenway to my work on the NCSU campus, but this bridge across the Neuse near the Mial Plantation parking area was impassable. My (legal for greenways) tricycle was too wide to pass through the car blocking posts. The federal spec for these is 5 feet post to post. Most of the newer Wake County greenways are built this way. I can easily pass between 4 ft posts so these must be closer to 3ft. That is close enough to cause real trouble if two bicycles try to go together between them (5 feet is not). Since I cannot use this bridge, I must go out on Shotwell Rd, and Old Baucom which have significant traffic.
  • Rocky Branch Trail Greenway Raleigh, NC - Southwest
    At this location it is dangerous for more than one bike to pass through the too close posts and tricycles cannot pass at all. The modern spec is 5 feet between posts. Older trail predates current design parameters.
  • Walnut Creek Trail Greenway Raleigh, NC - Southeast
    At this location it is dangerous for more than one bike to pass through the too close posts and tricycles cannot pass at all. The modern spec is 5 feet between posts.
