But both are risky and I avoid both, but may with extreme caution (i.e. very low speed, watching for any signs, even more caution passed driveways) pass stopped vehicles by using outside of wide lane, shoulder or BL but only if needed and only for long enough to get to a position where I will make the next light cycle. In some areas/situations this could be a couple miles of backed up traffic.
