Bike riders given more road use rights
A cyclist was cycling west through congested traffic on El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego last March, splitting the lane to pass traffic because he was cycling faster than the speed of the other traffic. Numerous streets and business driveways intersect El Cajon where Woolley was riding, so splitting the lane seems reasonable to me says beach cruiser. Gary realizes this isn’t compliant with the “Bikes Allowed Full Lane” rectangular signs for the proposed next edition of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, but nobody except traffic engineers care about those details. It’s just a sticker and it gets the point across.
