Meaning that they aren't close to the intersection yet. I believe you can only cross over once it becomes a dashed line. And if you look at the stripping on the road, it is still solid.

I really think you should to take down the picture of the cars turning right from the bicycle lane along Market Street in San Francisco. It actually is not an example of space hogs... It's an example of cars doing exactly what they should be doing. There are many drivers and cyclists whom don't understand the law as to how right hand turns are to be made when there is a bicycle lane. Its an issue on which the SF Bicycle Coalition has been trying to educate cyclists and drivers. Below is a link from the SF Bicycle Coalition that talks about making right turns with bicycle lanes: http://www.sfbike.org/?bikelane_right_turns Just as a heads up… I really think you should to take down the picture of the cars turning right from the bicycle lane along Market Street in San Francisco.

I am learning to live with it as clearly the problem is here to stay, and there is no way I can or even want to call all of them in to the DPT. Seeing these pictures strangely made me feel better to know that this is a universal problem. Perhaps some day there will be a credible movement specifically directed at cars on sidewalks.
