Cycling in Waterloo Region

According to my research, you can stop in the bike lane if you're picking up/dropping off passengers.

Interesting, I had wondered about that.

And I should add that, while I’m pretty much a hardliner when it comes to cars occupying bike lanes, even I can’t see a problem with a bona fide quick stop to pick up or drop off passengers. It’s when the driver sits around in the lane for a minute or more and actually inconveniences a whole stream of cyclists that there is a problem.

So I’m not sure I would really support flags demarcating bike lanes but I do think that “quick” stops (as opposed to quick stops) should be enforced fairly rigorously.
