Anyone ever tried following up with the city on this?  It is a marked bike lake (see photo).  That also has markings for parking.  Every day I see riders having to ride in the traffic lane to avoid the parked cars.  I find this especially ironic given that it is employees of the Department of Public Safety that are parking there rather than in the large lots on the Lamar side of the building. 



(photo also shows a state patrol / APD pulling over a rider who ran the red light - good.  But parking in the bike lane rather than off street in the parking lot to issue citation / run ID - not the best choice)

As a driver - if you're speeding beyond your capacity to see the road and identify obstructions then you should be at fault - not the driver who stopped to avoid them.  It very well could have been a couch dropped off a truck accidentally that they stopped for.  If the driver stopped in the middle of the road for no reason / obstruction / or lack of attention - then yes, negligent.  However driver that hit them still should be faulted (not possible as died).
