A bicycle has to veer into the car lane (dangerous) or go on the footpath (illegal and dangerous).

A car has to go from one lane to another lane.



Cyclist here. When a delivery/service/taxi/etc vehicle is parked in car lane right next to bike lane, I'm very uncomfortable when passing it.

I'm afraid to get doored. I'd be stuck in between car and raised sidewalk with nowhere to go. Whenever possible, I pass such vehicle using opposite (or 2nd) car lane.

Passengers/workers getting in/out vehicles or loading/unloading vehicles frequently stand on bike lane during process. Or put their stuff on bike lane. Which is totally fine by me, they do what they gotta do.

I'd rather have them parked in bike lane and pass it in car lane. IMO it's safer and less stressful both for them and me.
