I guess I haven't been paying attention to see the bike signs.... glad they are there.
Unfortunately, there are many parking bylaws that run into grey areas. Obstruct traffic is only one... partially over the sidewalk, partially in an NPA/NSA (I used more than 50% in gets a ticket, less than 50% not). The only "partials" that were guaranteed a ticket were "More than one space" and "Disabled Persons Spaces".
Surprisingly enough, cities are very controlling on issuing that authority to outsiders. Only a select few from certain security companies and private by-law enforcement services get the authority. I dealt with property owners that wanted the authority to deal with their fire routes and disabled persons spaces, but were not allowed, so they had to use us on an call out basis. Seems a waste of resources, but I'm not management... so what do I know?
