The signage is pretty comprehensive, many drivers do start to drive in the bike lane, and quickly realize they shouldn't and exit or reverse.
But plenty of other drivers obliviously or contemptuously drive down the bike lane.
I suspect a significant portion of drivers simply don't ever look at signage.
FWIW, I think the design is good, it's obvious to me that cars should not be there, but I'm also familiar with this infra, I think most people will figure it out quickly, but there's a solid minority of drivers who never look at signs, and the idea that they aren't supposed to drive somewhere isn't an idea that ever crosses their mind. These same people would be driving in HOV lanes.
