Unprotected bike lanes’ fatal flaw is that they rely on the honour system in a country where nobody has any.
I've cycled to work regularly in a couple of countries in Europe (including The Netherlands, which are pretty much Europe's Gold Standard on cycling infrastructure) and do and did paid attention to that kind of thing were I didn't.
In my experience there are ALWAYS assholes who for their own convenience will block the bike lane if they can get away with it. There might be more in some places and fewer in others, but they always exist - assholes fucking things up for the rest are a fact of life.
As I see it, the only solution for it is protected bike lanes were possible so that it's simply impossible for a car to go there and where that's not possible, speedy and stern enforcement (the "there's a tow truck there in 5 minutes top and the fines are painful" kind).
Thankfulky enough, I think Mamdani has stated in some recent interviews that he's working to make bike lanes actually protected, and just make the city more bike/pedestrian friendly. So things are looking up for them!
In my city I never (and I mean never - people just don't do it here, they even avoid getting caught in the fucked up turn lane stuff) see people drive in bike lanes, so this seems like a NY City asshole kind of thing.
I live in a city where most of the bike lanes are just a dedicated shoulder. When I'm driving on these roads, 100% of the time if I'm following someone, they will drift into the bike lane. I also ride my bike in that lane, so I'm extra alert to it. Not so much a parking issue, but lazy and distracted drivers are a plenty.
Where I live bikes have as much if not more rights on the road than cars! For every 10mph in a car passing, u have to give them 10 feet. They have full right to use a car lane, and apperantly don't need to stop at stop signs or lights lol. This is very rare for USA but the states culture makes it possible for bikers to get around even in rural areas! Lots of Q tips out here biking on the main routes, I see them pretty regularly. Not so many young people though!
I see taxi drivers doing it regularly.
Nah. I see it plenty in Seattle, though I'm sure it's a much bigger problem in New York.
With so many cops why would it rely on the honour system ?
I mean it should be the cops kicking out people off bike lanes... We have assholes like that in the EU but they sometimes get a fine for it and eventually some stop doing that kind of shit.
The problem is that it's not enforced by your police forces.
Hahahahahha you have way too much faith in lazy pigs. Writing tickets to motorists in the bike lane is way less fun than raping children and beating minorities.
Police in North America exist to protect the property and interests of the wealthy, not to enforce laws that help the average person
Dude, cops in NYC actively hate cyclists. If one saw this interaction they’d probably cite the biker
