It’s basically bigoted to argue otherwise — people only count as traffic if they’re encased in a large metal shell?
I like the way you think. If I still worked by-law, I'd give it a try. I loved pushing limits, sometimes the JP would agree, sometimes not.
Bike lanes weren't a thing when I did that job, so my mind didn't even go there.

Thanks! I guess what I don’t understand is why this would even be in question. Does the HTA contain any language saying that some lanes are more illegal to block than others? Or is it that “traffic” is only obstructed if every lane is blocked by the obstruction? But even that can’t really be right — I’m pretty sure I’d be written up for blocking traffic if I stopped on Hespeler road, blocking just 1 of 3 lanes in one direction.
Or is this like what people mean (generalized) when they say that society as a whole is still racist/sexist/…?
