Roadguy might be several hundred miles from home, but he’s still thinking about you, the Roadguy reader. And after this week’s numerous comments about slower drivers in the left lane, Roadguy was particularly excited to see this sign during his travels:

Yep, a lane-specific minimum speed. (This was on I-70 in Colorado, and considering I was in the back seat of a car going 65 m.p.h., the photo is something of a miracle.) Perhaps Minnesota should consider such signs – but first we’d actually have to agree on what the left lane is for.

Alert reader Pete, meanwhile, has been following this week’s latest round of bike-car discussions, and because he likes to stir up trouble, he offers us this thought from a member of Toronto’s city council:

“I can’t support bike lanes. Roads are built for buses, cars, and trucks. My heart bleeds when someone gets killed, but it’s their own fault at the end of the day.” — Rob Ford

The quote appeared here, in the Toronto Star. It seems unlikely that Mr. Ford will be the guest of honor at any “share the road” events.

Up next: A couple of pictures from loyal reader 406er, a man who, through no fault of his own, is a magnet for Moron parkers. The parking job in this first photo…

… isn’t tooooo horrible — there was at least some attempt to get the tires on the edge of the concrete, and perhaps there was a now-melted snowbank in the way when the car was parked. Still, one might wonder, “Just how hard is it to get close to the curb?” To answer that question, 406er offers this:

Yes, that’s a parked car, and it sat out there for quite some time – long enough for St. Paul officials to give it a ticket (and, one hopes, long enough for the driver to sober up and/or get an eye exam).

Finally, if you’re in the mood for more photos, check out the blog of loyal reader Aaron, who chronicled his Thursday afternoon commute on E. Lake Street, which has just begun yet another phase of its painful rebirth.

May your Friday and your weekend be as pain-free (and Moron-free) as possible — and, as always, leave Roadguy some comments below.
