Here in Ontario you can ride in the lane although the HTA states to ride as far right as practicle and the MOT Ontario recommends keep 1 meter from the curb. The thing is, if you ever did get an impeding traffic ticket you might be hard pressed to prove that it was a neccesity to be that far in the lane for that long a time.


So, how many cyclists are actually ticketed in Ontario for riding lane
center when necessary?

I suspect this is another fantasy of yours.

Here they plug the segregated lane pilot project. I use it twice daily.
Frankly, I do not find it much of an improvement.
