The salmon rider makes it far more difficult for the oncoming motorist -- or cyclist -- to give him room under heavy two-way traffic conditions or a narrow street. The option to simply follow at a safe distance for however it long it takes until a safe pass is possible has been eliminated by the wrong-way rider.

One possibility is to simply pull over and stop. Something I did once several years ago and have been heavily criticized for in another topic.
