Reply to comment by wittgensteins-boat in Cambridge City Council to consider citywide ban on ‘turning on red’ by superfakesuperfake

And you are REQUIRED BY LAW to move over when there is space to do so. City spends ungodly amounts of money to build you people bikes lanes to ride in and you want to be everywhere else but them. They take away parking and left and right turning and all sorts of shit and you wanna ride in the middle of the street anyway. You people are insufferable

Cite the statute.

Here is my citation. Mass General Laws Chapter 85, section 11B

> Section 11B. Every person operating a bicycle upon a way, as defined in section one of chapter ninety, shall have the right to use all public ways in the commonwealth except limited access or express state highways where signs specifically prohibiting bicycles have been posted, and shall be subject to the traffic laws and regulations of the commonwealth and the special regulations contained in this section...

I stand corrected. I misread the law and I apologize for that.

However, for all of the laws that your insufferable community break on a literal daily basis see Ch. 85 sec. 11b

"When riding on public ways, bicyclists must obey the same basic traffic laws and regulations that apply to motor vehicle operators."

You want to ride in front of cars or however you want and act like the world revolves around you, its on you whatever happens. In all Seriousness though, stay safe out there. Contrary to popular belief noone wants to see anyone hurt

Yes, the same statute states that bicyclists must obey the rules of the road.
