Agreed the 3 foot rule is not being followed. I'd bet most motorists are not aware of it. As as aside did you see tht Ritter had an accident and is in the hospital.

I didn't say on the edge of the road, I said between the right tire track and a foot from the edge. Normal vehicle traffic should move most debris off to the side. Most motorists would like us to be off on the shouldere, and that is NOT what I said.

That roadway is not an uphill, but a downhill. You should have no problem going 20. If traffic is 45, that's only a 25 mph difference. If you are in the middle, or right middle of the lane, the vehicles should not have a problem getting around you. If you don't have a mirror, get one and try to time your speed so you are not hitting the intersection the same time as the traffic clump.

If you think that is fun, you should try about 1 mile north on 2 lane Industrial. It can get hairy when you have 45 mph traffic on both sides of the road.

The yellow path is not illegal, just not the shortest route to a right turn. It is much safer than riding on the left side of the lane.
