Show me the law that says because a Sharrow is painted on the road, it means you ride right where the Sharrow is painted, instead of yielding to other vehicles..sharing the road. It works both ways. Is that painted Sharrow your savior?
May I respectfully refer you to Wisconsin traffic regulations re cyclists:
Narrow lanes
- Ride in the center of the lane.
- Keep at least three feet between yourself and passing or parked traffic.
Wide lanes
- Keep at least three feet between yourself and the curb or from parked vehicles. Motorists should be passing you with at least 3 feet of clearance.
Don't get the door prize!
- Ride in a straight line three feet out from parked cars. You'll avoid car doors that open in front of you and you'll be more visible to other drivers.
- Don't pull into the space between parked cars. Ride just to the right of the actual traffic line, not alongside the curb.
- Ride straight, three feet from parked cars - don't get "doored"
Perhaps you could let us know how he was disobeying the law in his state? Or why your
opinion should take precedence over said law?
