Difficulty: MediumPedestrian and Bicycle Signals and Markings

At an intersection equipped with dedicated bicycle signal heads, a bicyclist traveling in a marked bike lane is legally required to follow the signal displayed on the bicycle signal head, even if the adjacent general motor vehicle traffic light displays a solid green light.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
Dedicated bicycle signal heads are designed to control bicycle movements independently from general traffic flow. When a bicycle signal head is operational, cyclists in the bike lane must adhere strictly to its signal indications regardless of general traffic signals.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the signal control mechanism present at the intersection.
The intersection has dedicated bicycle signal heads for the marked bike lane alongside general traffic lights.
Determining which signal device governs specific road users is necessary for compliance.
2
Apply traffic signal priority rules for vulnerable road users in designated lanes.
Dedicated bicycle signals specifically direct bicycle traffic and override general traffic signals for users in the bike lane.
Bicycle signal heads are timed independently to manage conflicting movements, such as motor vehicles turning across bike lanes.
