Bike Lanes

[SilverBear]

I guess what we need is this... where a center guide rail steers us in the proper direction at all times:

No... seriously... don'tcha think???

Well, see... one of us (Husbear and I) thinks that because the center lane (in direction of travel, on your side of the road) is not marked as "thru ONLY" (with a forward-pointing arrow), that a left turn from that lane is optional and legal.

only if your timing is impeccable (turning lane traffic light is probably not synched with through traffic light and bound to be shorter) and if there is really enough room to feed 2 turning vehicles into the dual lane highway without necessity of merging.
why not ask one of your friendly police as to legality?

Because <removed brutally frank opinion of local LEO>, that's why.

While looking up post #1, I found some site that said local ordinances should be standardized to a state's SOS (ironic, that abbreviation) so they are uniform since people drive all over the state. Otherwise, how would non-locals know "the rules" unless it's clearly marked?

So....the legality...would have to be researched. First, with your SOS, then any local "overrides".
