    The picture doesn’t account for the fact that in many places you have to give 3 feet when overtaking cyclists. Not saying that everyone does that but the graphic should show an extra three feet on either side of the cyclists if we want to represent how much space they are actually occupying

      1. The bycicles don’t occupy that space (3ft ≈ 1m or 1000mm)

      2. Since the car is the one overtaking, the space should be applied to the car, not the bicycles.

      3. Why would it be required on both sides, not the just passing side?
