LOL ... Yah it's a nomans lane and It's a mile going another way. It's getting harder and harder to get thru double merge lanes, the worst POS there is.
I was THERE the middle June last year on tour, 2 times thru there both ways. Motel to the SE corner, then went northwest to the DQ in the evening and BKing in the morning. I did ride in the middle of course. Screw the traffic. Then I had to get over to the center to left turn wherever.
I forget if I barged thru the left sidewalk to LT from the BK. Maybe I got between the 2 LT lanes.
Funny thing is for Bellingham, I wrote in my diary, NICE BLanes. LOL And there is another stupid intersection going out the SW part.

Then homeward in Calgary on the north end of Deerfoot freeway, I sandwiched myself between merge lanes 4 and 5 with cars going 55 mph on my right and 70 in the 3 thru lanes. SUVs in the right lane were nicely honking their horn to warn others behind, while swerving wildly over to the shoulder. LOL A few seconds later I found out why. Half way thru the 200 yard merge, a car following a pickup (both merging out ) was headed for me and saw me, beeped then went in front before exiting right.
Then it was clear to get between lane 3 and 4, headed to the shoulder verge. I was sitting up HIGH so they could see my hat.
