Cycling in Waterloo Region

As for "how is one supposed to park"...they aren't, it's always illegal, which is why a "no parking" zone is superfluous or at least, implicit.  But that is a HTA charge, so the city's bylaw cannot enforce it, to allow bylaw to enforce it, the bike lane must be additionally marked explicitly as "no parking". At least this is the excuse they gave me for refusing to enforce the bike lane on Glasgow for a year.

OK, I think I understand now why they separately mark it. But still, it should be “no stopping” because really it’s “keep out” in the same way the sidewalk is. Another reason to put the curb between the motor vehicle lanes and the bicycle lanes — almost everybody seems to understand that it’s not on to jump the curb. We don’t seem to need to “no parking on the sidewalk” signs all over the place.
