I agree completely with "slower traffic keep right" except that sometimes you do have to make left turns--even on a bike. However bikes have the same responsibility as cars do to signal (left arm out) and only get over when there is space to do so (and don't pass someone in front of you who is also turning left
).
DOT is Department of
Transportation. Walking and biking are transportation and are common in dense cities and in residential neighbourhoods. The foremost mission of the DOT is the safety of all people involved in transportation--not just cars. Speed is secondary to safety.
