@Coke
Thanks for the info.
Our bike lanes pretty reliably have the restricted lane diamond signs (which by the way about 1% of drivers even know what they mean [1]) all along, so that wouldn't be an issue.
Seems like unloading of cargo is not an explicit exception in the bylaw either.
Regardless, the bylaw is basically ignored by a large percentage of the population, worse, I still think the "impeding traffic" is a judgementy type thing, which is usually a bad law. I have no idea why it isn't just "no parking in no parking zones".
Also, ooooh, how do we get deputized to write tickets? I could write a half dozen on my walks to and from work. Double that if I could also ticket for texting and driving.
[1] Our region now has a number of different diamond marked lanes which are interesting, and include buggy lanes in the rural areas, as well as transit lanes for the LRT and aBRT. I know a number of people who were confused as to why the "LRT tracks were marked for bikes".
