^ Although parking is not allowed in bike lanes, stopping may be allowed if there's no signage deeming otherwise (and if the driver is letting off passengers). Also, turning vehicles are allowed in the bike lane when making a turn and cyclists should therefore pass on the left.

Cyclists are not required to use the bikelane for a myriad of obvious reasons (turning, passing, obstacles, bad surfaces, etc.); many drivers are clueless to this.

^ I'd imagine that Davis Drive is more comparable, or at least, just as densely inhabitited with a mix of commercial and institutional (Southlake Regional), as well.

Personally, I feel safer cycling on major arteries outside the core as I find motorists to be a little more predictable on these roads; though, I realize I'm an exception to most cyclists in Toronto. The pavement surfaces are generally better and the lanes wider, so there's no difficulty in...

The question is how Richmond and Adelaide Sts will fit into the plan?

If passengers would be more vocal in dissuading improper behaviour among themselves, then it would certainly have a positive effect on improper behaviour towards drivers.

Not entirely pointless, as jaywalking is not inherently illegal, only in certain circumstances.

Those senior citizens sure are risky road-users.

I believe that if everyone put the pedestrian first on the totem pole than we wouldn't have as many close-collisions as we have currently. When I'm walking, I am sure to take drivers to account if they don't stop at right turns and almost run me over. As a cyclist, I'll stop at curbs before...

If the city is going to create more bicycle lanes it should be in tandem with driver education about the rights of cyclists to use the full lane (if needed). I don't know how many times drivers have been confused by my use of the whole curb lane to thwart drivers from passing from behind or when...

^ Oh, I was doing some biking on the trails at G Ross Lord Park today, so I decided to take Bathurst up rather than Dufferin. Though Bayview does offer a more pleasant ride. Speaking of which, Warden is great north of Highway 7.

I don't believe we should create more one-way streets in the downtown core as it promotes faster traffic and creates difficulties in reaching specific destinations (especially by bike). And if one were to add bike lanes to a street like the proposed one-way Yonge, would they work in tandem or be...

Ah, I biked up Bathurst from Dupont to Finch today; it looks like they're starting to resurface some other sections as well.

Haven't been there in a while; when did they resurface it?

If the facilities are there, more people might use them. On another note: does your office charge employees for car parking?

Bike lanes and segregated bicycle facilities keep bicyclists second-class road users. Why not just widen the curb lane and create WOLs. And while I agree with the sentiment of waterloo warrior's post, I don't think it's feasible to create a separate cycling infrastructure in North American...

^ Although comfortable, there's not a lot of leg room on VIVA. Also, the seats are slightly inadequate after an hour bus ride from Finch to Newmarket, though the fare is pretty reasonable.

Though it sounds like a reasonable solution to those who don't cycle (or if so, not often), it obviously brings up a few questions about the upkeep of the now separated lane and the possibility of lane changes by cyclists therein. As stated above, current bicycle lanes seem to collect road...

But the cyclist is not a driver of a motor vehicle, but rather an operator of a bicycle, therein lies the difference. Just as a pedestrian cannot be charged with motor vehicle infractions when they're are not operating one, the type of vehicle (either streetcar, motor-vehicle, or horse) defines...

2nd Point A bicycle is not a motor-vehicle, nor a street car. Also, if a cyclist does not need to show a driver's license there is no way a police officer can charge demerit points to that person's license.
