Not sure I think maybe not legal I got a ticket for something similar "pass off roadway" or something
|
Like the topics says, at a red light, can I go by a car on the right to turn right, using either part of their lane or the shoulder? I wonder if this is the same as lane splitting in the eyes of the law.
I've searched and read posts on lane splitting/sharing but didn't see this specific situation referenced.
Anyone know for sure?
Thanks

If there's no dotted line to indicate a separate right turn lane, I would assume that squeezing by the car in front you would be like you passing the other person in their own lane which would make that illegal.
But I do it if there's enough room, if there isn't I don't make an extra effort to try an squeeze by.
From what I remember...
legal= sharing a lane to pass a vehicle making a right turn
not legal= sharing lane w/ vehicle infront of you to make a righ turn

I did read thr former situation off an HTA excerpt. It's the same thing with sharing a lane with parked cars. Fully legal, aslong as your vehicle is within the lane. Ex: lanes on the danforth can comfortable fit a parked and a moving car. But lanes on Bayview are small and only a motorcycle can squeeze in. That's always my route out of dt during rush hour.

This post does not provide any legal advice and readers should consult with their own lawyer for legal advice.
If the lane is wide enough to safely accommodate two vehicles it is legal.
here in the land of pick up trucks drivers will just jump the curb to squeeze by you on the right which is surprising considering drivers here for the most part are courteous drivers.
Think of it like this. When there is a car making a right hand turn and you pass them to go through the intersection in the same lane there could be another car making a right had turn in to the same lane. Your view as well as the car making the right in to your lane is obstructed. Its not safe at all. Many still do it however its not safe. Do it on your M2 exit and you will get points deducted for sure.

Why yes, you are wrong:
Passing to right of vehicle
150. (1) The driver of a motor vehicle may overtake and pass to the right of another vehicle only where the movement can be made in safety and,
(a) the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn or its driver has signalled his or her intention to make a left turn;
(b) is made on a highway with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width for two or more lines of vehicles in each direction; or
(c) is made on a highway designated for the use of one-way traffic only. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 150 (1).
