Car in the bike lane
Dutchie here to explain why that's not ironic:
If its a dotted line cars are allowed to use it, but only if it doesn't impede on cyclists. So while they didn't have to be there, it's not unlawful as there's no cyclists.
If it was a single line, it's a different story.
That isn't a bike lane, it is a bike suggestion strip (translated literally).
It's a bike strip, since there is a bike icon.
A bike suggestion strip has no bike icon and has no legal status, it's merely a suggestion.
They are different things.
It’s a shared road. Not separated lanes. Hence the dotted lines.
