That picture is the view from my ride every morning (westbound on East Capitol Street as it meets up with 2nd Street NE/SE on the east side of the US Capitol Bldg). The red car on the right would be illegally parked. The last parking spot (reserved for the Supreme Court) lies several feet back. East Capitol does have a dedicated bike lane (it's why I use it), but the road marking the bike lane ends several feet back. From this perspective, it's actually a broken single line for cars turning right. Since I take a left at this light to head down to HHS, I'm always forced to dance around all the cars headed right. At least security necessitated removing one of the bus stops this corner. I hate to burst your bubble, but I believe your photo is inaccurate.
