They open doors into them after parking.
At least in the US and Canada, it's illegal to use a bicycle lane as a turn lane if you're not on a bicycle, you make your turn from the right turn lane (or the next lane left of the bicycle lane in absence of turn lanes). It's usually treated the same as other restricted lane violations. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
