I encountered this situation last week and wondered how others would proceed if cycling.

On a one-way street with 2 auto lanes and 1 painted cycle lane, I saw a UPS delivery truck park in the rightmost auto lane, leaving the cycle lane free. But the cycle lane is obstructed by a car a bit further ahead and is lined with parked cars on the right side.

Q7. Given the photo and the arrangement of cars/lanes, which path would you take if you were planning to continue forward?

View from cycle lane in an American city, looking forward at the intersection. There are some medium-height buildings visible on the left and right side of the road. A green light is visible in the foreground with walk signal below. The vehicle lane setup is, from left to right: Parallel parking on left, two automobile lanes, painted bike lane, parallel parking lane on right. A UPS truck is parked in the rightmost auto lane but is not blocking the cycle lane. In the distance, a car is parked in the cycle lane. The rightmost parallel parking lane is full of cars. There is about a full cycle-lane's width of room to ride through, in the cycle lane, but not more. The roadway is a one-way street, designed for traffic all to move in the same direction.

    @ascentale old me would have adjusted the car's mirror. Now i would just ride pass.

    Both of us would have taken the bike lane. And pass on the left side of the car.
