Can I park in bike lanes?

Montreal here. Earlier today I parked my UPS truck on the bike lane. The police gave me a warning not to do that again. He said he’ll give me a ticket next time. I thought I’m legally allowed to park on bike paths if I do it quick. Please advice.

park where ever you want to as long as you don't park on a biker---but be prepared to take some crap for it a few times.

Different areas have different rules/laws. Also it depends if the officer is having a bad day or not. They don't pull us over here regardless of how fast we're going. They don't ticket us for parking in places or give us warnings for anything. They just let us do our job because they know we'll be out of the way in a minute or two and life will be back to normal. Why even bother to waste their/our time?

Bike lane law is almost universal but law enforcement towards it is going to change quite a bit.

It's the metagame of blurring traffic law to suit our needs for parking. And in montreal, where I hope most everybody better accommodates bicyclists and pedestrians as an overall marginalized group. I would try not to use the bike lane if it can be avoided.

Most of suburban and expanding america would not care at all if you took lunch in a bike lane.

UPS will pay any ticket that isnt speeding, stop sign or a red light.

Also with a commercial vehicle you can stop on a bike path for some time.

tell police boy to reread his books, too much donut sugar fried his memory

Yes, as long as your truck identifies as a bike
