What about them? Don't park where parking isn't allowed. You may think "oh I'm only here a few minutes" but every other jerk parking in the bike lane has the same thought. All those "just a minute" stops add up to continual obstruction.
Imagine you wanted to drive your car, but a delivery truck has double parked and boxed you in. Okay, no big deal its only for a minute right? You can be patient for that long. Only, as soon as that delivery truck pulls away, another one comes and blocks you. And then another. All day long. You're stuck, forever, but no single person inconvenienced you for more than a minute.
And its worth mentioning that a lot of these bike lanes are designed to be wide enough for emergency vehicles to use in an emergency. If you've parked in the bike lane you've not only inconvenienced bikers and peds, you've potentially obstructed an emergency vehicle who was relying on that bike lane to respond to an emergency.
I think you misunderstand the motive of the above poster - I don’t think it was negative whataboutism but “let’s also do x”
Yeah you're right. I totally interpreted it the other way
Absolutely agree, we are saying the same thing. There has been no enforcement on them.
This post is about the enforcement. 😊
This is all true.
