OK, so then it's not reasonable to blame the truck driver. The city/region needs to post proper signage.
I totally agree the design is bad and unmarked (as virtually all our trails are), but I entirely disagree that they were confused. That section at least, is up a curb, on a concrete portion. They knew they were in a pedestrian area, not a vehicle area. Moreover, they didn't set this up on a Sunday morning when there is nobody there, this was rush hour on Tuesday, and they were packing up, they're from there. You can even see they have blocked people's bikes into the bike rack.
It's unacceptable. They knew what they were doing, and they didn't care because it's only pedestrians and cyclists, they can go around. Nobody would block a one lane through road in that way.
