Orange Ave – cars track far left, staying clear of the door zone So, I’m looking at all this traffic footage and something occurs to me. Motorists give other cars considerably more than three feet when they pass. Obviously, lane widths offer plenty of buffer when they are passing moving vehicles in adjacent lanes. But...
