It's sad that these types of regressive laws are being overturned in so many places in the USA but some "bike advocates" still don't know that.
However, NYC is not one of those places.... But even in NYC with its regressive must use laws, you can leave the bike lanes for lots of reasons. "But officer there's a dangerous dangerous unacceptable dangerous really really really dangerous utility cover in the middle of the bike lane!" On a sunny Sunday morning that is *probably* not one of the reasons.
Luckily in Massachusetts we've never had these types of regressive laws.
