You need some other example to make that case.
The flipside of riding on the sidewalk. Is riding in the street
1. Ten years ago, all cyclists' had to 'Hug the curb.
2. Seven years, it was changed to the 3-foot law
3. Three years ago, it was changed to being allowed to 'take the lane'
So, that became less archaic over time.
