For example, in the state of California all cyclists are legally required to ride "as close as practicable to the right-hand" side of the roadway when the lane is wide enough "for a bicycle and a vehicle to travel safely side by side within the lane." While California does not specify exactly what constitutes "wide enough", other states do. For example, the Texas version of this law states that riding "

in a residential subdivision south of the Everett Turnpike and east of East Dunstable Road in southern Nashua, at the very end of Tempo Drive. (Old House Lane appears to be a truncated roadway that formerly ran perpendicular to Tempo Drive.) The house is 1-1/2 stories in height, with a timber frame, gabled roof, central chimney, and shingled exterior. The wooden shingles cover what appears to be the house's original exterior siding, variable width wooden planking. The main entrance is at the center of its

A drive started at entrance gates 1/3 mile due west, the two stone piers of which still survive standing either side of Overton Drive at its junction with Blake Hall Road. The piers are embellished with the monogram of their

Shoulder (road)


A shoulder, or hard shoulder is an emergency stopping lane by the verge of a road or motorway, on the right in countries which drive on the right, or on the left side in India, Japan, the UK, Australia, and other left-side driving countries. Many wider US and Swedish freeways have shoulders on both sides of each directional carriageway, in the median as well as at the outer edges of the road, for additional safety. Shoulders are not intended for use by through traffic, although there

The highway was paved from Little Tonoloway Creek to the western edge of Hancock in 1913, and from there east through the town to east of Tonoloway Creek in 1915. The highway through Hancock followed the same alignment as modern MD 144 except for a circuitous alignment on both sides of Tonoloway Creek that followed what is now Old Route 40, Tollgate Ridge Road, and Ford Drive. The present bridge and alignment were constructed in 1940. Construction on I-70 from the Pennsylvania state line

An Assyrian exodus from the town began in November 2012, when Free Syrian Army soldiers threatened to invade the town. The exodus further continued when the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria took control of nearby roads just outside the town. In October 2013, four Assyrians were stopped while driving in a car and kidnapped by Islamic State of Iraq and

The hearing focused upon two main questions: "1. What policy decisions made by the Coalition Provisional Authority contributed to changes in Iraqi confidence and cooperation?" and, "2.

Transportation in the United States Virgin Islands


The United States Virgin Islands (USVI) is the only place under United States jurisdiction where the rule of the road is to drive on the left. However, virtually all passenger vehicles are left hand drive due to imports of U.S. vehicles. Cars drive on the left hand side of the road, but nearly all the automobiles on the island have left-side steering columns. Due to the terrain, roads are often narrow, steep, and take with sharp turns. They tend to be poorly surfaced. The USVI have

The French foreign minister made light of the Super Etendard shipment, with a comment of "Five planes, more or less. What does that change?" It certainly changed something in the eye of the Iranians, who apparently were responsible for the Drakkar building terrorist attack, which made 58 deaths. Support for Iraq is consistent with French policy and a resumption of Iraqi exports may enable Iraq to repay its debt to France.

As a result, Burmese drivers have to rely on their passengers when passing other cars. Within Yangon city limits, it is illegal to drive trishaws, bicycles,
