Mi scuso per il rant, ma sono stanco delle persone che continuano a parcheggiare nella pista ciclabile.
Ho un paio di strade vicino a me dove ciò accade sempre a volte anche peggio di così ed è dannatamente fastidioso e pericoloso. In questo caso credo che sia persino legale parcheggiare parzialmente in strada in quanto è più una spalla asfaltata che un parcheggio ufficiale. Dal momento che la strada non è divisa in corsie, puoi parcheggiare fintanto che mantieni l’apertura di 3 metri per il passaggio del traffico.
Anche se era illegale parcheggiare sulla strada, anche il parcheggio sulla pista ciclabile. Se un posto è troppo piccolo per parcheggiare in modo legale, significa che non puoi parcheggiare lì. Se per qualche motivo una persona doveva sentirsi come la loro comodità fosse più importante della sicurezza stradale, sarebbe molto meno una mossa egoistica per occupare il 3% della strada anziché il 50% della pista ciclabile.

SUV drivers will be SUv drivers.
Honestly, just call the cops on them. Yeah yeah snitches get stitches, but I’ve had it with these narcissistic assholes who think they can park wherever they please. There’s no police officer that’s just randomly going to pass there and give him a fine, but if you drop a hint, I’ve found that they actually do come out and write a fine.
Where I live (very close to a school), there’s a couple of people who always park their big-ass work vans right on the corner of an important intersection. There’s clear yellow paint lines and signs that you can’t park there. I’ve seen accidents happen (I’ve seen a kid get run over on its bicycle) because you have such poor visibility. Super fucking dangerous, and all of that just because they’re too lazy to walk literally 10m further. Fuck that. I call the cops on them.
Because they can? And they don’t care about the safety of other weaker road users?
I don’t see the problem. You can perfectly cycle on the right side of that car. Just make sure that you keep your left brake pressed against the car to keep your balance.
they have good frais there!
This is really just a bad road layout to begin with. We had that quite a few years ago in the place I live now. People complained to city hall about the bad situation.
Their solution? Repurpose the bike lane as official parking, and paint a “bike suggestion lane” right next to it.
And then they were surprised the Green party got a ton of votes next local election… (not enough to sway results, but enough for them to take notice at least)
Because belgium. Look at the design of the road? Totally unclear and open for multiple interpretations.
Ah, hier se, den Astridlaan ip reddit begot
1. Bike paths are mostly empty while the road are more frequently used.
2. They don’t want to hinder cars
Imma be honest, wtf is this road planning? I bet there’s also a murderous edge between the concrete and the cobblestone, that’s exactly how I broke my shoulder.
It is afaik not illegal to park on the street, unless there are lines drawn onto it OR you would leave less than 3 meters of space OR it’s a road that has priority outside an agglomeration. It however is always illegal to park on any sort of cycle path (and this one blatantly is one, unlike my situation).
Additionally, while you are allowed to *stop* on the road for a variety of reasons even in areas where parking is forbidden, you are not allowed to stop on a cycle path under any circumstance other than maneuvering through it. It’s like train tracks, really. This paragraph is at all of you, landscapers, plumbers, delivery people. Unless again you get a permission to put up barriers and cones, just like you’d do for the sidewalk.
Complain to the police and the community. The police can act, the community (and especially the mayor) can follow up.
Hypothetically of one were to have a bicycling mishap where you hit the car would the owner be obliged to pay for both their and your damage? IANAL its just an interesting question.
Ik zie vooral een infrastructuur probleem zoals DDT zou zeggen. Voetpad te breed, parking te smal.
You can still bike through the space on the left unless you are going really quick or you are a fatass.
Don’t get me wrong, this SUV is parked like shit. But on the scale of annoying parkers for bike at least this one is not blocking totally the bike lane.
This is bad behaviour to reprimand but not high priority.

Wat met de auto’s op de achtergrond? Staat iedereen op deze manier geparkeerd of is de situatie daar anders?
Aah de Astridlaan.
Niet alleen de ruimtelijke indeling suckt, het wegdek is ook gigantisch versleten.
Maar Brugge kan niets doen want het is een gewestweg. Het gewest wil momenteel niets doen omdat er werken zijn gepland aan de Gentpoort, het Station en Steenbrugge.
Het zal nog niet voor direct zijn. 😅
Kleine sidenote on topic: dat zijn wel degelijk parkeerplaatsen. Alleen waren auto’s vroeger zo breed niet. Vanaf het Peerdeke tot aan Ver Assebroek heb je dit probleem.
I saw few times that they get dat sticker with something like *i park like an asshole*
Not that it excuses this antisocial parking behavior, the markings indicating the cycling path are clear, but I do want to remark the somewhat lousy road design:
* Rather wide sidewalk on the left side
* Physical obstacles on the other side: concrete bumps and plastic bollards
* Mix of cobblestone and concrete plates
* Two-way road without clearly defined lanes
* No designated parking areas?
Based on what I can see in the photo: make the left sidewalk narrower and elevate the cycling paths on both sides. Replace the plastic bollards and concrete bumps with bushes. Put in dedicated parking spots and if that makes the road too narrow for bidirectional traffic, put down signs indicating who has right of way. Should be safer and nicer on the eye.
I’d say this is more of a “don’t hate the player, hate the game” type of situation. This road looks terrible and it’s easy to see how someone could be confused into thinking that cobble strip is meant for parking. It’s clearly not wide enough so the choice is to either spill out on the road and risk damage from cars or spill out on the bike path and risk annoying cyclists.
Would be useful to know if there are any traffic signs present to clarify what’s allowed or not
Aan de overkant van de straat zijn zelfs paaltjes geplaatst om de auto’s van het fietspad te houden
Any civil engineer here that can share what should idealy be done ?
My guess would be that instead of 2 way bike lines, to eliminate the one on the right and make parking spots. And the left one could be made wider.
You can’t park a 2m wide car on a 1,5m wide parking.
This time, fault is in the road.
Neem de hobby extreme mountenbike en doe er parkour mee op de fiets en oversteekplaatsen als de mogelijkheid zich aan bied zoals hier.
As a cyclist, I fix this by driving in the middle of the road.
You take my space, I take your space.
3 reasons:
1) The person driving that car never cycles and doesn’t give a shit because he/she is an asshole
2) The road layout is retarded. Perhaps the engineer hates bicycles or much more likely, the government overruled the engineer and required the cheapest solution for a bicycle path.
3) The fines for this behavior are much to low and are almost never enforced by local police because they don’t care and possibly hate bicycles.
