Bike Lane Violations in Seattle
Ford Expedition Takes the Trail
alaskan way and Royal Brougham Way, Seattle, WA
This Ford Expedition with Florida plates rolled right over the concrete curb stop to park in the Waterfront Trail right-of-way on Alaskan Way.
New Loading Zone
24th Ave NW and NW 57th St, Seattle, WA
This Yellow Cab 286, is using the new long loading zone in front of QFC. I suppose it dosen't matter that it is a dedicated bike lane.
Moving Truck
24th Ave NW and NW 60th St, Seattle, WA
Blocking in parked cars, the bike lane, and the lane of traffic.
School Bus Blocking
24th Ave NW and NW 62nd St, Seattle, WA
School bus number 21322 was blocking my commute the other day. The driver was sweeping the floor with a broom and seemed upset that I took his photo.
Unloading With Plenty of Room
24th Ave NW and NW 62nd St, Seattle, WA 98107, Seattle, WA
On my commute home, this truck was unloading with plenty of room behind, but instead parked with its front end out in the bike lane.
Napping in the Bike Lane
24th Ave NW and NW 58th St, Seattle, WA
This Pabst truck was parked in the bike lane blocking the alley and the bike lane. Looked like the driver was just taking a nap.
Getting Smokes
24th Ave NW and NW 59th St, Seattle, WA
This lady was just leaving when I took this photo. She was both parked on top of the bike lane stripe and in front of a “no stops / tow away zone” sign. She suddenly stopped when she was pulling away for the cyclist in the photo. She was probably just running in to get cigarettes from Dan’s Smoke Shop.
Handicap Parking Job
24th Ave NW and NW 58th St, Seattle, WA
A red IROC with handicap plates was parked at an angle into the bike lane in front of Wingmasters Sports Bar. Maybe it is a mental handicap, or too much in a hurry for a beer at 2 in the afternoon to park?
Driving in the Bike Lane
61st nw and 24th nw, Seattle, WA
This Yellow Cab was cruising slowly south in the bike like. I suppose just looking for a fare just past midnight.
Driving in the Bike Lane
24th Ave NW and NW 57th St, Seattle, WA
This car was driving for blocks in the bike lane. I couldn’t get out my camera soon enough for a good 'before' picture, but here it is stopped at the light. You can see the distance into the lane by the how much of the white truck behind shows. I’m not sure if the plate is “429 UIE” or a variation of “428 UYE.”
No Construction Blocking Traffic
NW 57th ST and 24th Ave NW, Seattle, WA
I keep asking myself if I want to post these types of photos. This construction site has constantly and needlessly blocked the bike-lane and sometimes even the northbound lane. The construction often doesn’t make any use of the space that they block off.
Not Delivering, Just Parking
8th Ave NW and NW 65th St, Seattle, WA
This truck wasn’t making a delivery. It was just parked, at an angle, blocking the bike lane, the bus stop, parking and the mini-mart’s entrance. It was there for about three hours that night.
Cab reaching for a door prize
Dexter, Seattle, WA
This cab and another one a block ahead were both parked more than a foot away from the curb.
Trailer and RV in the lane
nw 64th and 8th nw, Seattle, WA
Sorry about the dark photo it was taken at about 11:30 pm. This RV and trailer were far to big for the standard parking and out into the bike lane.
Can't Wait For The Light
nw 54th st and 32nd ave nw, Seattle, WA
This Toyota couldn’t wait for the light to change and stopped on the Burke-Gilman Trail. It was like this: There was a red light for the car and a green for the perpendicular bike trail. I stopped to take a photo as I saw five cyclists almost hit this car.
