Yes, it is a fundamental problem. People driving are used to generally turning into the right lane and oddly the bike lanes are wide enough for a car, which is also part of the problem.which tells me the design and implementation is what's wrong because this is the sort of thing that should be intuitive, not the sort of thing that has to be learned...
and then there's the centre/through lane stop light going eastbound at 125th street where you're supposed to stop for a red light while the curb lane has a green light and oncoming west bound traffic also has a green light...
There is an overload of signage and things happening downtown, so people sometimes just miss it. It also doesn't help that you have to go into the right lane of 106 St to drive straight through the intersection going south, but that is another problem - the area is a design mess.
Some roads have no right turns because of the bike lanes, some don't. It is inconsistent and frustrating to wait when there are clearly are no cyclists. It really should be a yield to cyclists on right turn, but not sure if that is less confusing.
