This garbage so-called bicycle lane doesn't even have a single image of a bike painted on it. How do the motorist know that it is a bicycle lane??

A Scenario Today: A SUV motorist mistaken the Bicycle Lane at Outbound Storrow Drive Entrance as a right turning lane.
The motorist drove his van into the 5ft wide bicycle lane and started honking at a cyclist who was waiting for the red light.
Motorist (M): "Move over onto the sidewalk!"
Cyclist pointed to the arrow on the ground: this is a bicycle lane.
M: Bicycle should be on the sidewalk! Move over, I need to make a right turn!
C: This is a bike lane!
Motorist started Honking excessively for 5 second, and started rolling his vehicle toward the stopped cyclist.

Please, City of Boston, PLEASE, just some white paint and a bike-outline-mold can easily solve this problem!
