I understand. And I agree if using the letter of the rule...

But how do you explain the rule interp. of saying that the lane "transfers" to the fair side? That, to me, means that the whole lane moves from one location to another... and the existing one goes away.

Perhaps a better wording of the rule interp. could have been written?
