Impose fines for parking in cycle lanes

Additional Information

I believe cycle lanes do help to prevent cyclists coming into contact with motor vehicles.
.
This benefit however is lost and worse, becomes a danger, when these cycle lanes are blocked by parked vehicles.
.
Parked cars and other vehicles stationary in the cycle lanes require cyclists to leave their designated lanes and move into the road and hence into the path of other vehicles.
.
This deviation into the road itself requires both types of road-user to predict what the other is going to do and act according to that prediction. A prediction that if wrong could cause injury to the cyclist or the veering motor vehicle to enter the path of on-coming traffic.
.
In my opinion, fines should be imposed upon vehicles found to be clearly parking on cycle lanes for any length of time.
