So you're wondering what this is all about right?  Well Hamilton Twp Police Officer Heartman insisted that I use these turning lanes as make shift "bike lanes" as a means of traveling this part of route 40.  Prosecutor Donna Vetaly (or however you spell it) worked the lamest jedi mind trick for all ot was worth in a pathetic attempt to make me believe what was & is a turning lane somehow......is not?

But the one thing prosecution and myself could agree on was the width of the turning lanes.....A WHOPPING 16 1/2 FEET!  For the life of me I couldn't understand why the civil engineers would give so much room to the turning lanes, but only 10ft to the lanes of travel.  Then the answer came to me in the EHT section in front of the English Creek Shopping Center.  There, in the auxiliary lane, truck are forbidden from turning in.  The auxiliary lane and entrance are TOO NARROW (story of my life).

But with ample width big rigs are able to enter the Hamilton Commons with ease.  So....what does this mean for me??  Just like in the "what's old is what's new again" video I will return to a method that I use to use to travel this section.  The turning lane is indeed very wide and in theory I shouldn't block or collide with turning traffic.  BUT.....but but but, if I end up getting clipped by the rogue driver who suddenly WAKES UP, and realizes they are about to miss the entrance of the shopping center or has the last second thought of.....gee wiz I like to check out that store....and ends up clipping my front wheel.  Well....then it's back into the lane of travel I go!!

And once again, bad drivers will only have themselves to blame for having to cope with the cyclist using lane control.
