When turning right on a bike lane, what must you do?

• A. Honk at bicyclists and proceed.
• B. Turn wide into the bike lane and speed up.
• C. Check for bicyclists, yield to them, and complete the turn with caution.
• D. Ignore bicyclists and stay in your lane.

Answer: (C)

When turning right, you must treat the bicycle lane as a space where riders have the right of way. Before you turn, look for bicyclists in or entering the bike lane and yield to them if one is close or signaling a turn. Only proceed when it’s safe, finishing the turn in your lane and with caution so you don’t encroach on the bike lane. This prevents sudden moves that could cause a collision with a cyclist.

Hitting the horn and continuing, cutting wide into the bike lane and speeding up, or ignoring bicyclists all create dangerous situations and are not appropriate.
