Which statement best describes the use of bus lanes on USFK posts?

• A. Bus lanes are always closed to all other vehicles.
• B. Other vehicles may enter bus lanes if dashed lines allow a right turn.
• C. Bus lanes are for bicycles only.
• D. Bus lanes may be used for general driving at night only.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is understanding when you’re allowed to enter a bus lane. Bus lanes are reserved for buses, but entering them is permitted when the roadway markings show you can, specifically to make a right turn. If you see dashed lines between the through lane and the bus lane, you may merge into the bus lane to complete a right turn, after signaling and yielding to buses and pedestrians. If the lines are solid, you would not be allowed to enter the bus lane.

That’s why the statement about others entering bus lanes when dashed lines allow a right turn is the correct description. The other options aren’t accurate: bus lanes aren’t always closed to other vehicles, they aren’t exclusively for bicycles, and they aren’t restricted to nighttime use.
