In 2020, the ministry fully paved the shoulders of Highway 11 in the vicinity of Sand Dam Road northerly and signed this section of highway as a bike route. Cyclists have begun using this section of HIghway 11 (~ 7 km) with their road bikes. If the pilot is from Sand Dam Road northerly then the ministry should extend the fully paved shoulders from north of Sand Dam Road to the point that the pilot barrier ends.

Alternatively, select the Marten River area section for the pilot.

In both cases, it would be less safe for cyclists on a provincial "bike route" to install the 2:1 cable barrier without fully paving the shoulder. However, this a greater issue on the Sand Dam Road section since there is now cyclist use on the fully paved shoulder which needs consideration in how to allow cyclists to turn around when the paved shoulder ends.
