You are adding something to bike lanes that is NOT part and parcel to bike lanes. Nothing says a bike must remain in the BL.
The "only" associated with all those spaces I mentioned, is that autos are supposed to stay out, just like a solitary motorist is not supposed to use a car pool lane.
Not true in Hawaii and a few other states that have mandatory use of bike lane laws. Even mopeds are required to stay in the bike lane in Hawaii.
Stop the discrimination, remove the bike lane paint!
You bike lane folks say you oppose mandatory use laws, but none are stepping up to the plate at the legislature to help end this discrimination! Anyone see any activity from LAB trying to do away with these bike lane laws - they also ignore the problem. (Maybe they will for sidepath laws but not for bike lane BS)
How about those cops in Portland that ticket cyclist for leaving the bike lane, even when the cyclist want to make a left turn?
