That is one of the reasons why most serious cyclists will not ride on the MMPs - too dangerous.

He said that carts passing others crossed over the centerline and quickly got back in their proper lane as opposed to crossing over and then meandering down the wrong side of the lane for a greater distance. That was his logic for the centerline being unsafe!
