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 protected bike lanes actually provide the perfect place to harbor these new and improved left turn lanes, which, in traditional street design, end up mucking up traffic flow for cars and bikes the most. This is why drivers should be advocating for bike lanes on the streets they travel.
