The photo was taken on August 8, 2008. The temporary "no standing" sign at the bottom remains from the day a week earlier when the bike-lane stripes were painted.
The "no stopping" sign" apparently is intended to be permanent, but it is lashed to a lamppost with wires rather than bolted on, and the tape stuck on at the bottom reads: "Mon-Fri 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM". Who decided that it would be OK to block the bike lane at all other times? Is this scrawled and taped exception official? Is it legal?
