davis_squareI've never quite understood the auto rules for the bike lane at the intersection of Willow & Highand (one of life's little mysteries).
I was driving there yesterday approaching the light and preparing to turn right (east) on to Highland. I was in the left-most lane (to the left of the bike lane in the image). Cars were passing me on the right in the far right lane and making the right turn. Needless to say, something felt off.
Usually the right-most lane has parked cars but it was street cleaning day so it was empty.
Was I in the wrong lane to make a right turn or were the drivers passing me on the right being jerks?

Date: 2015-09-04 01:04 pm (UTC)There's a driving cultural thing where a region has to choose only one of the two options. Option one is for people to run the light just after it turns red. Option two is for people to jump the light just before it turns green. NYC has settled on the latter, and Boston on the former. Trying to have both is a recipe for disaster.
