I don't understand how they could interpret (a) to not allow passing on the right in a wide lane. Why even write (a) if you have (b) if (a) supposedly means that same thing as (b) (that you need your own lane to pass on the right)? I'm not denying that they did interpret that it way but it's a ridiculous interpretation.
