I have seen at least one spot in Lake Forrest in S. Orange County there the through lane was removed. I like the through lanes because I am a strong advocate of riding to the the left of right turning MV's. The Deputy may have drifted into the bike lane, but that could happen whether there is a right turn lane or not.

I fear that this design feature will be blamed, and the road remarked, eliminating the through lane. This will only help reinforce the misconception held by many motorists and cyclists that FRAP is an absolute.

Or is that one of those "not really on the road arrows"-computer arrow?
It make a lot of sense. The accident was most likely caused by distracted driving.
