I came across a biking article from Seattle, WA.
There seems to be a REAL bugger, the Ballard Bridge, that prevents bikers from getting optimum results.

My "horror bridge" was coming into Greenville, MS. last year. In yon distance, about a half mile south, one could see construction of a new modern structure, but presently it is a 2 NARROW laned bridge, and 2 truckers passed me with inches of manuever room.
When the second semi-truck passed I got P.O.'d, held up my left hand and pulled into the main traffic lane.
Nobody else was going to get by me for the rest of that crossing. If I was a native I probably would have acted different, but a stranger can get by with bigger traffic boondoggles.
