Come to my city, Edmonton, Alberta. Vehicles regularly drive on dedicated bike lanes. Poor signage, barricades and dumb drivers.
Separated bike lanes. Not by a line of paint or some curb at the intersection but by several feet of physical barrier. Raised planters work well and are attractive but putting the parking strip between traffic and bikes (as long as the parked cars can't open doors into the lane) also gets the job done.
Yep, we have all of the above. I still see bewildered drivers in the bike lanes every week.
I'd say the police could be useful for once and crack down but we know that won't happen.
It sounds like bollards are needed around the dedicated bike lanes to protect from cars driving on them.
