This is a question for US drivers. I was moving with traffic of course.
Sunday I was out riding, and came across a situtation I hadn't encountered before. I was on a 4 lane road with a divider in the middle. On my side, there were two lanes, and I was in the right lane. There was a merge lane for a highway the road I was on crossed over on a bridge. It was one of the merge lanes that drivers both merge out of, and in to, to get off and on the interstate (respectively). I stayed in the same lane that I had been riding in as I crossed the bridge, and ended up getting honked at rather violently by a jacka$$ in a Hyundai (whom I then saluted accordingly). Was I in the correct lane? I felt like getting into the right-most lane would have put me at more risk than maintaining my lane and being (technically) in that merge lane. (There was a sidewalk across the bridge, but it had huge gaps and gravelly spots, and I was on a road bike with skinnys). Anyways, thanks for your input.
