It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Most, if not all, traffic lane identifiers are written this way in CA. Bottom to top for ease of easy comprehension. I read ‘Bike’ first so it’s quicker that I’m aware it’s not a turning lane for example

You’re not wrong; but the main point is the largest word is closest to you. In this case I think it’s best to be able to read ‘bike’ before ‘lane’ without taking too much time off the road ahead. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
