There are clearly signs that say that the road is closed, and yet day after day cars drive up, find out they can not get past, then back out along the mud road. Do they just think that those signs do not apply to them?
Often streets are closed as through-roads but open for local access. I'm imagining that these drivers are trying to get to the parking. Presumably people only make this mistake once.

Between William and the Iron Horse, the bike path is the sidewalk. The infrastructure is sending mixed signals here (and will be different post-construction as well).
