This is such nonsense.

A motorist going 10 mph on a 30 mph speed limit street isn't breaking any law, neither is a cyclist. Driving slow on a single lane road is not impeding traffic anymore than red lights, yield signs, or left hand turns are impeding traffic.



It's pretty common for states to pass laws against impeding traffic and refusing to get out of the way.

"The law will excuse your slow driving if you can show:

You were driving slower than the posted speed, but lower speed was "necessary for safe operation" of your vehicle."
