Cycling in Waterloo Region

[kps]

Makes sense, since it's illegal, although it's part of the 99% of the Highway Traffic Act that's never enforced.

I'm not sure what exactly you're referring to here, but you are 100% incorrect on this.  Cyclists are permitted to take the lane as necessary.

First, the turnout law doesn't apply to the circumstances I'm discussing.  You probably mean to link to the "slow moving vehicles (including bicycles) must keep right as practicable".

The link (which works, though the file is large, so perhaps your browser can't cope) is to §148(6):

(6) Every person on a bicycle or motor assisted bicycle who is overtaken by a vehicle or equestrian travelling at a greater speed shall turn out to the right and allow the vehicle or equestrian to pass and the vehicle or equestrian overtaking shall turn out to the left so far as may be necessary to avoid a collision.  R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 148 (6).

I don't see anything in the Highway Traffic Act that says that's optional; please point out the section that makes it “100% incorrect”.
