22nd and Lombard Streets -- Chronically Blocked
22nd St. and Lombard St., Philadelphia, PA
I guess we won't see any violations written for parking here. Let's see:
1) it's a Bus Zone posted for No STOPPING let alone no parking,
2) it's posted as a Tow-Away Zone,
3) cars that insist on parking here block part of the travel lane,
4) it's a Bike Lane.
Philadelphia patrol car # 1715, for what it's worth.
The civilian car behind the cop has its hazard blinkers on, so that makes it ok right?

Philly's Finest
22nd St and Lombard St, Philadelphia, PA
The 7-Eleven at the corner of 22nd and Lombard caters to the constables and cabbies in southwest Center City. Nine times out of ten when I walk or ride by this location there is at least one vehicle parked in the bike lane.
The age old question: How do you enforce bike lanes when the cops themselves don't observe them? Also, is there perhaps a better design solution for the bike lane in this location?
Obviously something more important than my safety
South 50th street and spruce street, Philadelphia, PA
Philly police were towing someone earlier tonight, or at least they were talking to someone doing some towing. But since all the action was taking place in the parking lane, why are they in the street? OK, even if I don't second guess the cops and they had some reason for this other than just not being bothered to pull over, what about the turkey with the white car? It didn't look like it was in an accident. There are parking spots in front of and behind the dump truck you can see here. Well, at least the gentle rain was there to wash away my cares.
