I haven't had trouble on Naamans Road, but I'm not usually there when traffic is heavy.

My experience with the Police there has varied widely.
Hi Angelo,

I take it that you aren't the cyclist who chased me down and called me a ******** idiot for riding in the straight thru lane?

The officer who ticketed me then pulled me over again claims to have given up on me. The second time around I had the paperwork with me from my appeal where the original ticket was thrown out in the CoCP (yes, I carried this with me for four years knowing I'd encounter him again). He "doesn't agree" with the court decision and told me I am "on my own" if something happens while I'm riding in the right lane.

FWIW, between my neighborhood and 202, there are over 20 right turn only/slip lanes in 3 miles.
