If the cyclist continues the path they were on when the bike lane ends, they are now technically creeping up. It is the same for roads that don't bike lanes.
That white lane painted literally right next to the curb that is called a "bike lane" on Queen between Courtland and Highland is pathetic. I take the full lane down that entire stretch; too many cars try to pass cyclists even when there are boulevard's/pedestrian islands/oncoming cars narrowing the road width. To me, the sharrows on Queen, between Joseph and Courtland, and these bike lanes should be switched.
I believe the proliferation of stop signs and traffic signals and the removal of yield signs is one of the reasons people are having trouble grasping the roundabout concept; they have no practice being present and using their own judgement and are just on autopilot
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
