ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Drivers are using them as right turn lanes.

Exactly. I have a similar complaint about the bicycle lanes, which are signed as “No Parking” when they should be “No Stopping”; except even that isn’t really right, because cars have no business in the bicycle lanes, ever, even for a millisecond (except at intersections where by definition various rights-of-way conflict).

In both cases, it would probably be better if there were a barrier curb separating the LRT or bicycle lanes so that it would be clear to drivers that those lanes are not part of the general traffic road at all but rather adjacent to it, just like sidewalks.
