i wasn't aware the problem of confused cops was exclusive to D.C.
police unclear on traffic laws surrounding bicyclists is epidemic in this country. and even in places bike ed is a part of police training, the police still sometimes get it wrong (either from blatantly incorrect materials, or the presentation.)
Two police training modules I've watched (Cary NC and Los Angeles) err in misstating laws and policies in their official bike training modules.
