Passing target: 70% (28/40)
You drive in the right lane of a city street. The lane is about 11 feet wide, and there is no bicycle lane. A bicyclist ahead rides slower than traffic, near the middle of the lane. What is true?
Blue A follows cyclist B in the outside right lane of a city street with two lanes in each direction. B rides near the middle of the lane, and no bicycle lane exists. A bracket spans the supplied 11 feet between the lane divider and curb. The question makes no legal judgement and selects no passing route.
Correct answer: The bicyclist may lawfully ride there, because the lane is too narrow to share safely.
Why
A slower bicyclist normally rides as near as practicable to the right edge. The rider may move left to pass, to prepare for a left turn, to avoid hazards such as debris, parked cars or potholes, or when the lane is too narrow to share. When a bicyclist uses the full lane, wait behind and pass only when you can change lanes safely.
