A driver on a city street intends to execute a right turn at an upcoming intersection that features an adjacent designated bicycle lane. Arrange the following steps in the correct chronological order from first to last.
- 1Activate the right turn signal continuously at least 100 feet prior to reaching the intersection.
- 2Check rear and side mirrors and look over your right shoulder into the vehicle's blind spot.
- 3Merge smoothly into the designated bicycle lane within the allowable distance prior to the turn.
- 4Yield the right-of-way to any pedestrians in the crosswalk or bicyclists remaining in the lane.
- 5Complete the right turn safely into the rightmost lane of the intersecting street.
Answer
The proper sequence is: signal at least 100 feet ahead, check mirrors and the right blind spot, merge into the bicycle lane, yield to pedestrians and cyclists, and complete the turn into the rightmost lane.
Executing a safe right turn across a bicycle lane requires a logical sequence of actions: first communicating your intention by signaling at least 100 feet in advance, second verifying space by checking mirrors and looking over your right shoulder for bicyclists, third merging into the bicycle lane when clear, fourth yielding to any pedestrians or remaining traffic, and finally making the turn into the rightmost lane.
