Difficulty: MediumPedestrian and Bicycle Signals and Markings

When a driver is turning right across a bicycle lane marked with dashed green conflict pavement markings, the driver must yield the right-of-way to any bicyclist continuing straight through the green-marked area.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is true because motor vehicle drivers turning right across marked green bicycle conflict areas must yield to bicyclists proceeding straight.
Green pavement markings draw attention to potential merge and conflict zones. Drivers turning right across these markings must treat bicyclists traveling straight as through-traffic and yield the right-of-way until the bicycle lane is clear.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the pavement marking type and road feature in the scenario.
The roadway features dashed green pavement markings across a right-turn conflict area in a designated bicycle lane.
Green markings indicate a potential point of conflict where motor vehicle turning movements intersect with bicycle travel paths.
2
Apply standard right-of-way laws for turning vehicles crossing bicycle lanes.
Vehicles changing lanes or making turns across a bicycle path must yield to through-traffic already established in that path.
Traffic laws dictate that turning drivers must ensure the path is clear of oncoming through-bicyclists before proceeding.
3
Determine the accuracy of the statement.
The requirement for turning drivers to yield to straight-traveling bicyclists in the green conflict zone is accurate.
The driver must yield right-of-way to bicyclists continuing straight through the conflict zone.
