Talking about the solid lines on the roads that indicate a no passing zone. Screw that as far as bikes are concerned!!! If I am riding behind some idiot on a country road and have a chance to pass I am gonna. Most of my riding is rural country roads and too often I run into this situation. If I am riding with a buddy, whoever is in front signals to the one in back that it is time to pass. Just wondering how many others do this.

 

Cool. Maybe the last post of you will be in the HDF "In Memoriam" forums

 

Actually in Pa yellow line does not prohibit you from passing. Only if there are NO PASSING ZONE signs can you not pass. Yellow here is meant as caution. But still not allowed to pass within 500 feet of a hill crest, intersection etc.

 

Wow. That's cold, man. But to the OP: Yeah, lines on the road don't always tell me what to do when I'm stuck behind a coal truck on a country road. We do what we have to do. When the situation requires.......let 'er rip !

If I get behind a "I've got nowhere to go and all day to get there" drivers, I'll pass when it's safe, line of not.

I'll also wave a speeder that's riding my butt around too. I'll get over to the right and tell them to go around. Anything to get them away from me.

 

I file this in the screw that red light, Ima going too fast and am in the zone, eff that red light.

You are aware them solid yellow lines are there as a signal that you can not see around the curve or over the hill enough to know if there is on coming traffic. This aint even an opinion, what Im about to say, but from many years of riding, I know them solid yellow lines end.

Maybe this kind of riding is a formula to future darwin awards, just speculation.....

 

I do the same thing as long as I can see far enough ahead to be safe. I don't go out and pass on a solid yellow 100 feet in front of a blind curve or anything like that though. I ride in the sierras a lot and hate getting stuck behind a cage doing 10 mph below the limit.

 

That's funny cause lots of solid yellow lines out my way don't mean squat as far as a turn coming and you can see the rode for a couple miles.

 

correct me if I am wrong. The single solid line indicates the left side of your lane on a two lane road. It has nothing to do with a no passing zone. No passing zones have two solid yellow lines.

 

Rule of thumb on a bike " It's illegal only if a cop see's you"
