Looking on google maps, it seems like there is a bike lane. But at this intersection, a turning lane appears and the road briefly goes from "one lane with a bike lane" to "two lanes, no bike lane," and then back to one lane with a bike lane.
Infrastructure aside, what kind of garbage design is this? I live in West Philly, and when you come over the South Street bridge into Penn's campus, the bike lane gets crossed over by the turning lane. It's dicey every time. I hate it. They put a lot of paint on the road to try to make it obvious. But it is not safe.

I live in West Philly, and on my 2 mile commute to Penn, I regularly pass 10+ double parked cars. Often they are parked in front of massive, empty spots. It's fucking bullshit.
I suspect (though can't back it up) that most of these people are working. Whether they are ride share drivers or delivery drivers. And I'm sure they are incentivized by the shitty corporations that subcontracted them to go as fast as humanly possible. Which is bullshit. But some of them are definitely just regular lazy assholes who are pathologically self centered.
