In California, that's not illegal, it's the law. It's on the driver's test. Kind of counterintuitive at first, but seems much safer and also more consistent with the way turns are handled with any normal lane.

- downerending 6y agoSame thing, though I think all our bus lanes are right-turn lanes, too. In any case, I trust bus drivers a lot more than bicyclists. :-/
