What makes you think that is illegal? It's about safety for all road users.
LAB's TS101 teaches some of the same principles about lane control, also. Do you dogmatically oppose them, also?
My TS101 instructor used the Street Smarts booklet written by John S. Allen, and *surprise* he's a CS instructor also!
VC dogma is VC dogma, whatever its form. Using legitimate safety instruction to sow anti cycling ideologies is just back door deception.
Ones duty and responsibility is to their own actions, traffic control is for those duly authorized to engage in those activities. Ride where you choose, but don't try to make those choices for other road users.
