This seems against me, unless my safety concerns mean that the bike lane is not "useable."

Pennsylvania law seems more lenient.
Do not be confused. A bike lane on Walnut Street is NOT a "useable path for bicycles adjacent to a roadway "; it is a bike lane. This law would apply to the the bike paths adjacent to the East and West River Drives (or whatever the PC names are for the Drives).
