Re: http://www.mdimap.com/cycleMaryland/

I'll note that while BLOC grades are a gradual linear scale cyclists "comfort" is anything but gradual and linear. Case in point is the "D" grade which is too often earned because space is very tight for side by side sharing yet the road is not exactly "too narrow" for side by sharing, leaving the cyclist with a damned if you do and damned if you don't ride far right.

So I really object to the color scheme that lumps BLOC D with a BLOC C. BLOC C is essentially following AASHTO guidelines and BLOC D is skimping on the guidelines (and I will assert over accommodating motor traffic.)
