Lowriding had been outlawed across the U.S. Now, it’s making a comeback — and nowhere more fashionably than in Albuquerque, thanks to a passionate group of locals.

    Wait these were banned? In Seattle Cap Hill on Sundays iirc there were nighttime street parties with hydraulic lowriders. They’d line the suicide lane, blast music, and do the hydraulic car dancing

        Ah, yeah I suppose turn lane is more accurate here. I grew up somewhere with the suicide lanes because rural farming highways but not really turn lanes because my town had a single traffic light that people ignored anyway and just used it like a stop sign lol. Never got used to saying turn lane

        I always heard it called the “chicken lane” when you had wide roads you were trying to make a left across but couldn’t get all the way over.
