Bicyclists

A bicyclist may use the full lane and you may not share it. To pass, move over a whole lane if you can; otherwise wait for a gap in oncoming traffic, leave at least 3 feet, never cross into oncoming traffic and never pass on the right. A bicyclist in a crosswalk is a pedestrian.

Do not pass a bicyclist just before a right turn; let them clear the intersection and check over your right shoulder. Enter a bike lane only to turn or to park at the curb. Look for riders before opening your door.

Example: you plan to turn right at the next corner and a bicyclist is ahead of you going the same way. Stay behind until they clear the intersection instead of speeding past and turning across them.
