And the left lane is CLEARLY permitted by signage painted on the roadway 
AND posted on a sign. AGAIN, the police were informed of our intentions 
to go straight through in the left lane and did not cite us for improper 
lane use. If we were supposed to be in the right lane the signs should 
indicate the left lane is for left turns only and the right lane for 
right turn for and straight through. Please explain why the signs don't 
agree with your interpretation.

If you want I'll show you a local roundabout where the left lane entry 
is for left turns only. But it's a very different road pattern. You have 
something similar over UBC.

What you don't seem to get is that CarPlay just does not work exactly 
like the iPhone UI. Thus you whine when I show CarPlay results that you 
can't duplicate on your phone.
