I’m all for building out infrastructure for bikes and teaching car brains to share the road, but this isn’t sharing. It’s a slow moving vehicle monopolizing the road rather than sharing it.
It’s no different than pedestrians on the sidewalk making room for faster walkers to go by. It costs you nothing to be more accommodating to other people’s needs. There should be at least one bypass lane when there are this many lanes.
It just makes sense for efficiency since the faster moving vehicles will clear the road more quickly when infrastructure is available for their use.
It actually makes a great case for having bike lanes as this would reserve infrastructure for the separate uses without making a value judgment about who’s more important or whatever the fuck you’re on about.
If it was a single-file road, and there was a bus carrying all those cyclists (“slow, monopolizing vehicle”), would you expect it to stop on the sideroad and let the traffic pass, whenever a car approaches from behind?
The comment I’m replying to, called the large group of people using the road “entitled” for not letting cars pass for “efficiency”.

This guy gets it.

It’s like complaining about bus lanes.
