I've always wondered why don't they make the hydrants taller than cars, so firefighters could run hose across the roof/hood/trunk?
Not only would this potentially look terrible but it would probably be a lot more difficult to connect a hose to a 6ft tall hydrant.... What if a UHaul was parked in the spot?
Let's keep it simple and continue the current practice of keeping the area around hydrants clear.
Technically, it is neither legal nor illegal in California. It's just tolerated and there is no relevant law.
In other states it is explicitly illegal.
Like some of the other posters have stated, no law means LEGAL. California goes so far as to mention it in their motorcycle handbook: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl...
"Lane splitting should not be performed by inexperienced riders. When choosing to lane split, skilled motorcycle riders..."
I have lane split once (I live in Arizona and it is illegal here). They had closed/diverted I-10 (2 lanes each direction) due to an accident and it was 5mph traffic into Phoenix for about 10 miles, I have an aircooled 1970's bike which does not like idling in arizona's heat for that long (neither do I). I sat in that traffic for about 45min before another bike passed by lane splitting. I carefully followed and cut about an hour out of my trip. What pisses me off are the cars that use the shoulder to do the same thing:P
