Philadelphia Parking Authority Removes Phony Bike Lane Signs Amid Confusion

There are new bike lane laws in Philadelphia, including stiffer penalties for people who stop their cars in bike lanes, however, CBS News Philadelphia found out the new law isn't going to be fully enforced until the city updates the signs in the spring of 2025.

Meanwhile, a new twist: The city said phony stickers were put up in Center City, creating confusion among cyclists and neighbors. CBS News Philadelphia found the person behind the stickers — a masked attorney who said he's just trying to help.

The bike lanes on Spruce and Pine streets in Philadelphia are some of the most popular in the city, and for years, cyclists have been trying to get city leaders to do more to keep vehicles out of their lane. CBS News Philadelphia has been investigating the city's bike lanes for months — from vehicles blocking bike lanes for close to an hour to the city's decade-long practice of allowing churchgoers to park in some bike lanes on Sundays.
