east or west bound from I-67 to the built up area of <st1:place w:st="on">Poway</st1:place>.
A cyclist would have to take the lane for several miles on <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address
w:st="on">Poway Road</st1:address></st1:Street> in either direction. A cyclist
familiar with the roads into Poway from I-67 would most certainly take <st1:Street

which joins onto I-67 about a mile or so farther South (the direction the
cyclist was coming from, the intersection he crossed before <st1:place w:st="on">Poway</st1:place>
road.) SPP has a wide and very easy to navigate bicycle lane. This leads me to
believe the cyclist was attempting a u-turn to go back in the direction of his

North bound at this intersection (maybe 3, certainly not 1) and one (possibly two)
lane for the left hand turn. Traffic is normally going much faster than the 50
MPH posted. I-67 also has a higher number of high profile vehicles due to the
occupations and recreation preferences of the typical users of I-67. It is
possible that the cyclist did not see the vehicle in the left hand motor
vehicle lane due to the large motor vehicles in the right motor vehicle lane. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D'>This is exactly the
scenario I was talking about. If the situation was how it usually is, cars are
parked in the northbound shoulder, and cyclists ride in the right hand lane.
Sounds like he was either riding in the right lane or moving over to get
into the left turn lane (which is what I think the officer was trying to say)
to get onto <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Poway Road</st1:address></st1:Street>.
Either way, sounds like they don’t quite know what’s going on –
‘in the right lane or shoulder’? ‘veered to the left’ ?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color="#1f497d" face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D'>The conditions
yesterday were terrific for visibility – clear and sunny. The sun would
be toward the west, so not in anyone’s eyes. Looks to me like either the
driver of the car wasn’t paying attention to what was happening in front
of them, and/or was speeding (not uncommon on this stretch of roadway), or the
bicyclist didn’t see the car or misjudged the speed of the car coming
from behind. I wonder what the other witnesses saw? There should have been
plenty of them – it’s a very busy intersection, especially on a
Friday afternoon. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color="#1f497d" face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D'>The north to west
turn is indeed as difficult as it looks on the map. The speed limit is at least
50 mph. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

attempting a U-turn followed by a right, rather than a simple vehicular left
turn, I strongly suspect the latter is the case. (More sloppy journalism, e.g.,
which direction was Jeannie Franklin riding in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Solana</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Beach</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>?)
I have to plead total unfamiliarity with this intersection, but the Mapquest
aerial photo makes it appear signalized. Does anyone know the speed limit
through here? Is this north-to-west left turn as difficult as it looks on
the map?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
