Vancouver's pedal pandemonium strikes again as confused drivers land in the bike lane
Another set of drivers were caught driving in a Vancouver bike lane last week.
It’s not the first time this happened, but folks in the city do get irritated witnessing people drive very obviously in the wrong lane.
One Twitter user, Bryn Morgan Williams, shared a video of drivers pulling out of the Sunset Beach West parking area and turning right into the bike lane.
In Williams’ video, bikers were using the lane, but still, one driver drove in the wrong lane and took over the cyclists as they headed towards the Beach Avenue and Jarvis Street intersection.
Williams suggested it the parking lot exit is usually gated to prevent this confusion for drivers but was open at the time.
However, in a statement to Daily Hive the Vancouver Park Board said it reviewed the signage in the area “and can confirm that proper directional information was in place, and the gate was not a contributing factor to the incident.”

Not far away from this area, a local filmed drivers who ended up in the bike lane over and over again for months from their unit near English Bay Beach.
The Vancouverite told Daily Hive the area near Beach Avenue and Burnaby Street “is really confusing to drivers,” who turn into the wrong lane daily.
