Most of the cycle lanes aroud here are just cut out of the existing road, so they are just driven on.
They are also not a network, just some roads have a part painted for cycling. Or parked on, which is the usual scenario.

- happymellon 4y agoIs this British or American pavement that you are referring to? As far as I am aware, it is illegal in the UK to drive on the pavement.
- _dain_ 4y agoI think he might have meant "parking on the pavement" and mistyped.
- iso1631 4y agoHow do you get your car onto the pavement without driving it on there? Prevent that and you cut vehicle ownership in towns and cities dramatically, thus reducing congestion and pollution
- happymellon 4y agoParking on the pavement is a terrible move as well, as it impacts wheelchairs and pushchairs. Although people can park in bike lanes without parking on the pavement when sections of existing roads is marked as bikes, we should ban parking on all these features, set the fine high and enforce it to clear all the illegal parking.
- iso1631 4y agoA proper bike lane will have at least a solid white line that a driver is not allowed to cross (other than when accessing an adjacent property where they have to give way). Same as a bus lane. Thus it's impossible to legally park in those lanes
