I saw these installed on the Arbutus Greenway today. This doesn't look in any form wheelchair, stroller, one wheel, skate board or bike friendly to me at all.

Is there any practical reason to build those barriers to justify making life harder for above mentioned groups?

Doesn’t the diamond shape mean HOV lane, or am I super confused?

Edit: per ICBC (pdf warning), the diamond marking means reserved lane and additional symbols will dictate what the lane is reserved for. Cool!

They are asking about the numerous speed bumps on a pedestrian/cycle path (not for cars).

For cars or not is merely a recommendation as demonstrated by Richmond drivers.

Oh, ffs. What the hell is wrong with drivers?

I'm in Ontario and witnessed the same. The driver said "they didn't know where they're going", I was like, "well, I'm sure it's not supposed to be the pedestrian trail!".
