As an Idaho resident, I was thinking about this on my ride home the other day.

If I take the lane @ a light to avoid passing cars on the right, then I can't proceed through the red when traffic has cleared. But if I am to utilize the Idaho Stop law, I have to pass cars to get TO the the light.

Discuss.
