As some have suggested, they need to either color the lane, or stick a fat cement post in the center of it so cars can't go through it.. but on the bright side, I highly commend SF for this protected bike lane. Maybe the idea will spread down south to L.A. someday..

i was just there last friday. i think that was before they put up the pile-ons. really confusing, especially since i'm not local. my guess is those lanes used to be bus lanes or sharrows. not surprised that there has been some confusion.

What that car needs is some reflective strips and float pads on the side.

Or the driver needs to be tossed into the shortbus.

keep in mind market st is slightly sloping. in mornings or afternoons, especially if there's been some drizzle, the ground reflects off a terrible, blinding glare. those reflective paint bike signs/lanes can make the glare worse.

+1 for at least trying to make those bike lanes on Market - they do look like they were previously bus lanes...
