Shouldn’t all places with bike lanes be not just no parking zones, but actually no stopping? Unless there is a separate parking lane as well, either between the motor vehicle lanes and the bike lane or between the bike lane and the curb.
How is one supposed to stop or park if there is a bike lane there?
Also, related question, what would the offence be if one stopped or parked right in the middle of the road? Also something Bylaw can’t address? There shouldn’t really be any such thing as “[…] in a bike lane”; it should just be “[…]”, with no difference between doing it in a bike lane and doing it in a motor vehicle lane (the only exception being driving in a bike lane, which is illegal for motor vehicles but the same action is perfectly legal done in a motor vehicle lane).
