So then, it should have been included in the 2006 bicyclist manual. The treatment of bike lanes was one area where the manual took on a vague, kind of PC, hands off approach. Perhaps it is not clear, from ODOT's perspective, how the new law is to be enforced, so they refrain from taking any position at all about it.
