Yep. That’s by design. To keep speeds down. Assuming this picture is from the CCT looking north, then yeah that’s a speedhump and a 10’ wide car lane (12’ of asphalt technically) with a buffered shared use path next to it. South of the CCT this path becomes a bike only cycletrack down to Dorset.
This is actually the new southbound car lane. The new 2-way shared use path is on the left side of the photo. It’s just not marked and signed yet.

New safety metric just dropped: mascot Level of Stress.
Parallel bike path and sidewlk along light rail line

A lesser known element of suburban Maryland’s pending light rail line is a new dedicated bike path running the entirety of the University of Maryland campus, connecting 3 stations. This summer, the university is also constructing several pilot bike lanes branching off of it, too.
The “may” is history. At least with regard to regulatory (black and white) signs. New MUTCD signs are clearer but wordier. Something like, bikes are allowed to have whole damn lane. Or some such.
I like it. Definitely worth the experiment. Not wholly different than a nearside bike signal. I wonder metric is going to be used to determine success since pedestrian crash data is quite “noisy” at the hyper local level.

With all this summer’s thunderstorms, Rocky Gorge reservoir is great for boating. Unless you’re this poor fellow.
No red or white, but plenty of blue fireworks

Bike and trailer on tennis courts
Shoulda got the bike trailer sooner. Faster to the courts than driving, and one less car in the neighborhood. Plus, I get to combine two dopamines.
Next year, the new east end of this trail will be all the way down to Calvert Street!
