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.
I follow your logic here, except for the instability of a bicycle requiring 10- to 12-foot wide lanes. I think 6 feet is plenty wide for a single bike. Also consider that when a group of cyclists control a lane, they naturally move into a two-abreast arrangement. And they can ride this way safely.
