I saw this in action while driving Hwy 1 north of San Simeon and through Big Sur last week. There are sections of the road where there is really no shoulder and those cyclists that chose to take the road were given a ton of room when cars crossed over into the other lane to pass. I was so nervous when we reached Big Sur, my driving has changed so much since I started cycling and I was on constant lookout mode, keeping my eyes peeled for cyclists. It's a winding section of road with no shoulder and the views tend to take the eyes of the drivers off of the road. I don't know how cyclists ride that section going south without having a heart attack...one driver taking a second too long to gaze at the ocean and you're off of a cliff.
