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/…?
I mean, this is all a judgement call, even though it shouldn't be, but I can totally understand how blocking a curb/bollard segregated lane is a bigger obstruction than stopping in a road where other users must only cross paint to go around you.
