The bike lanes here in Toronto suck. None of them are the same with how they deal with keeping traffic and bikes separated. Most of the time I find it safer to bike on roads without lanes on them. Cyclists don't obey the rules cars are just as bad. Nobody knows how to use the right turn lanes. There are only three cops on bikes dedicated to enforcing the rules for cars and cyclists on bike routes, and we have over 580km of them. People still use the bike lanes to pull over and text, run into stores, or pick and drop people off. They don't seem to understand the bike lane is a live lane of traffic that they should treat like the any active roadway.

I'd love to see 100 cops on bikes throughout the core enforcing the laws for both drivers and bikers who don't follow the rules making it unsafe for the rest of us. Also the ministry of transportation could be doing a much better job teaching the population the rules of the road in our urban centres.
