Dangerous bike lane obstructions in Redwood City

Roads are a shared facility. Motorists are supposed to merge into
a bike lane before turning across it, and may merge into the bike
lane when within 200 feet of a turn. If you have drivers merging
in way before that, report the problem to the police. After enough
drivers get some "coupons", the problem will go away.
And in a related fantasy, when enough drivers get speeding tickets,
all drivers will obey the speed limits.
.... which is why the cameras used to catch red light runners in
San Francisco are reducing the number of people running red lights?
The "problem" being discussed, of course, was not a few drivers
violating the law but enough to cause a long queue of stopped
cars in the bike lane. It's pretty easy to get these guys.
You just stop the lot of them and process them one by one. With
all the grid lock, it is not like they are going to get away.
