This sort of ticketing is a very rare event (as far as we know). It doesn't seem reasonable, at all, to expect that a few more signs would keep cops from "messing up" or change the rates of these rare tickets.

And a few signs wouldn't change that.

If there are signs on substandard roads that say "may use full lane", might people presume that cyclist are never allowed to take the lane on wide roads?
