I'm sorry but the stripe (solid line) is supposed to tell motorists "do not cross this line". It's the same as the solid line in the middle of the road is to prevent ppl from indiscriminately deciding the oncoming lane looks like a better place to drive. Removal of the stripe would tell motorists "look kids...a new wide lane to rage on!!!!" I still stand behind my opinion that motorist education is direly needed to get the point across that motorists, while the alpha dogs of the road, are not the only dogs allowed in the kennel as it were.
