You park along a city street where a bike lane runs beside the parking lane. Before you open the driver's door, what should you do?
Blue A is parked in the curbside strip beside a separately bounded bicycle lane, marked with an exact FHWA pavement stencil. The driver’s door is closed and no checking action is depicted.
Correct answer: Check the mirror and look back for bicyclists, then open when safe.
Why
SDCL 32-30-2.5 bans opening a door on the traffic side until it is reasonably safe and will not interfere with traffic, and it bans leaving the door open longer than needed. Get out on the curb side if you can, and shut the door as soon as you are out.
