I'm all for it as each time I get caught in stop and go I look at the wide shoulder and think wow, I could get thru this in no time. I've done it in Mt Rainier Nat'l park to get past the buses, tourists, and rubber neckers. I think they should open the shoulder and thats it. I could see lane splitting become the new extreme sport for nuts on crotch rockets. The only thing that bothers me about the shoulder is all the debris & crap; busted glass, car trim, chunks of tires, etc. It will be interesting to see what happens.
