@dgar 🤣 Push it onto the car lane
@dgar what #Wanker did place that sign there and not on the adjacent green?
@kkarhan @dgar
Probably the owner of said green, pushing it off his lawn😏

@MennoWolff @kkarhan @dgar
Nah, that green is public land

You can see where the property line goes past the intersection and on the other side of the street

@sabik @MennoWolff @dgar also even if it was privately owned, I'm pretty shure that land owners would have to accept and endure this useage of their land within reason...

Not shure how laws in the USA are, but in Germany that would be dangerous interference with traffic safety and manipulation of road signs and that's not something one would be let off the hook for - at least not if it affected even a single person...

@kkarhan @sabik @dgar
Yeah, one would have to be pretty stupid to do that. Maybe just as stupid as the city worker who put such a sign in a bike lane.

There is a good possibility that this is a photoshop. I see a car parked further down. It's quite likely that this is a parking lane, as is pretty common in north America.

@sabik @kkarhan @MennoWolff

The eucalyptus tree, the left-hand drive, the wheelie bins, the old Queenslanders. This is definitely Australia and the green sidewalk is definitely public land. Bike lanes are common. If you zoom in on the left side of the road, you can make out a white fence which is where the property line is.
☝️😊✌️

@dgar @sabik @MennoWolff yeah, the license plates (Mandatory Font & Color Scheme) as well as Left-Hand driving gave it away that it's a Commonwealth Member.

Further look at details would've allowed anyone to narrow it down similarly.

Also I'm pretty shure that like in the UK, bike lanes and parking spots - whilst abdurly close to gether and nareow, are different in their markings and not intersecting in terms of space...

@kkarhan @dgar @sabik
Ah, right. I mean left!
I totally overlooked the left hand driving bit 🤦‍♂️
@MennoWolff @kkarhan @dgar
Nah, a car parked in this style of bike lane is pretty common, unfortunately
@MennoWolff @kkarhan @sabik @dgar why would someone photoshop a car on a cycle lane? It's way too easy to just fotograph it as cars park on these cycle lanes all the time...
@jnbhlr @kkarhan @sabik @dgar
Yeah, but I was assuming it was North America, (hadn't clued in to the left hand driving bit).
There it's pretty common to have a parking lange and not a cycling lane. Then suddenly it's not so weird to have a sign in standing the middle of a parking lane. And it's funny and tempting to just shop a bike lane symbol on it.
@MennoWolff @jnbhlr @kkarhan @dgar
In Australia, the local governments do that for us, spraying bike symbols on the street; no need to photoshop
@sabik @jnbhlr @kkarhan @dgar
Just to mess with people, right? But it's still actually a parking lane. 😄
@sabik @kkarhan @dgar
Not that it matters, because it was a joke, but what makes you think that it has to be public? What is the property line you speak about?
I see a line in the asphalt which crosses the side street, but imho that's just how they made the main road.
I see a building on the green on the other side which suggests that that bit of lawn belongs to that building, so likely that's not public.

@MennoWolff @kkarhan @dgar
Mostly, as pointed out elsewhere in this thread, this is Australia; and that's how things are arranged here, with a strip of public land on either side of the street

Property line — you can see where the front fences are past the intersection and on the other side of the street; that's the front edge of the private property (the corner block doesn't have a front fence, so there's nothing to indicate the border there)

@dgar

Not sure if this is regular ironic or Alanis Morissette ironic.

@dgar that government for ya!
@dgar What are they thinking?
@meercat0
Thinking? They’re not doing that! 🤣
@dgar dear god where is that? I bet it's Brissie.
@stragu
Definitely somewhere in Queensland…
@dgar @stragu
Those look like NSW number plates on the sign trailer and the white car?
@dgar @stragu
Could just as easily be NZ in that we see the same stupidness
The bad translation from a good requirement into a solution.
@dgar ...AS WE PARK IN THEIR FACES !!
@dgar is that irony, sarcasm, or cynism?
@dgar Our species is doomed.
@dgar brutal irony 😵‍💫😁
@dgar Mutatis mutandis, the green policies of present-day governments and climate change.
@dgar ummmm??? Somebody missed the point.
@dgar OH, the irony....LOL
@dgar Cyclists, eh. Always complaining. Why would you want a small part of Earth when they're already promising to send you into space ?
@dgar "What's wrong with this picture?"
@dgar i "like" the car parked in the bike line up further
