I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I've said yesterday I've gotten what I need from this conversation. Thanks anyway
In my situation, I don't care if it's against an ordinance. I'm not going to risk life and limb crossing a highway twice and riding on a shoulderless highway at 20% of the traffic speed when I don't have to.
It sounds like your situation is quite a bit different than this situation.
These ordinances exist because reasonable people agreed upon on an objective set of rules that everyone can refer to, and they
usually exist for a good reason
