Tell me, what is the
practical difference between the MUPTC's "traveled way" and a clean and clear bike lane? Because, um... your quoted statement above applies to bike lanes in that they are "exculsive of shoulders, berms, sidewalks and parking lanes." Can you do this based on your own experiences without resorting to canned arguments (I can get those off a website)? In practice, do you shun this "clean and marked segregated facility" at all times (I'm not just referring to when it is obvious to shun it, such as near parked cars and such)?
Or is it just the "segregation" aspect you object to?
