If you become a state trooper, youâll work to protect the safety of citizens throughout your state.
Itâs fine to wait in a bicycle lane to back up, to drive in a bike lane when passing a car that is waiting to go left, or to cross a bike lane when turning, Scheft said. Cyclists, in fact, often want motorists to move into a bike lane in advance of making a right turn.
The width of a bicycle lane should be no less than 4 feet with a recommended with of 6 feet. This width does not include the road gutter section. If the road lane and the bicycle lane are placed together, the width of the combined lanes should be no greater than 14 feet. Lanes greater than that tend to imply a second travel lane to drivers. Bicycle lanes are to be located on both sides of the road on two-way streets.
