What I get from your post is if these lanes were in California, the situation might be different when drivers are turning, based on a picture. Hmmmmm...

Those barriers do not prevent a driver from making a right turn, and do not require a driver to move into the bike lane to make the turn, even if they were in California.

is that the situation we're discussing here? I thought we were talking about drivers drivers swerving into the bike lane, or drivers driving along in the bike lane, not drivers making a turn at an intersection.

Do drivers do this by choice, or are they even aware that they shouldn't use the lane? Why is it I see drivers move out of their designated lane of travel on a regular basis? Are they that inattentive? I think they are. I know I can stay in my lane while I drive and so can David. Maybe drivers just are so inattentive the don't care if they drift. Maybe they are so adverse to slowing down in a turn, they can't control their vehicles.
