How does Philadelphia mark off the bike lanes? Did they change the parking meter setup? Part of the problem here is it looks exactly like the setup we've grown accustomed to over the past 100 or so years, so you really need to hit people over the head with signs and indications this isn't the arrangement it used to be. A lot of cities have been getting rid of the single space meters as a cost-saving measure, that probably should have been coupled with the bike lane installation.

Is this typical of the markings in Philadelphia? By comparison, Dayton appears to be engaged in magical thinking that drivers will just "get it" without instruction
