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.

Napping in the Bike Lane

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

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.

Trailer and RV in the lane

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.

This cell phone talker was parked right in front of the sign that says, “Magnolia Bike Route, Scenic Loop” with plenty of parking in front and behind. When I stopped to take the photos I saw three cyclists swerve onto 20th Ave W.

SUV Downtown Can't Park

While riding south (in my friends car) I got out my camera to take a picture of this silver SUV parked over the line in the bike lane. There was a still lot of room to the curb.

EWV244

myrtle edwards park, Seattle, WA

To be honest, I almost didn’t post this. This white van that was driving toward me on the left (wrong) side of the dedicated bike path was a King County Parks van #EWV244. Sure she was probably doing something official, but couldn’t she have parked in a parking lot and then used a cart, or walked?

Happy Hooker

Elliot Bay park, Seattle, WA

This car wasn’t technically in the bikeway when I took this photo. It is parked very close. The odd thing is that there are no roads to this shop, the Happy Hooker. So it must have driven on the dedicated bike lane to get there.

Truck Parked Wrong Way, Covering Trail

This Truck was parked the wrong way on a two lane street, covering the bike trail and forcing both cars and bikes to go around it into the other lane, facing traffic. It couldn't have been more wrong.

covering entire burke gilman trail

burke gilman trail, northlake way, Seattle, WA

A taxi was parked, entirely, on the burke gilman trail, which is completely illegal for cars to be on. Airport Taxi #36, today, July 28th around noon. It was a little ridiculous, for such a heavy use trail.

Also, the google map below is wrong. The burke gilman trail goes right to the north side of Northlake Way, and doesn't run through gas works park. You can see the true route here:

Truck at the fuelling station

8th and leary, Seattle, WA

This truck was so far out in the road that it was blocking the bike land and a lane of regular traffic. The truck wasn’t making a delivery, but fuelling up with diesel. These bike lanes are new/ not even fully painted, but will connect to the Burke-Gilman Trail. I didn’t get a chance to take a good photo of the two plates on the truck or trailers.

Taxi Parked on the Burke-Gilman Trail

N Northlake Place and N Northlake Way, Seattle, WA

Durring the Fremont Fair/ Solstice Parade, this yellow cab was parked on the foot path and the bike lane. Forcing us to ride on the wrong side of the street to get around. This was after the King County driver tried to get him to move.
