说明

TL;DR:
Turning lane is not plowed, making bike lane 100% useless.

BACKGROUND:
Bike lane was correctly implemented to the left of right turn lane, to reduce the risk of the all-too common “right hook” collisions w/ turning vehicles. However, this only works if said turning lane is **completely** plowed in the winter; if it’s instead treated as a shoulder or parking lane (i.e. buffer to store plowed snow from “primary” travel lanes), then the entire bike lane design breaks down.

To be clear, the driver is not at fault here.
