Explanation
In California, it is generally illegal to drive in a bicycle lane. However, you may enter a bike lane within 200 feet of making a right turn, entering or leaving the roadway, or when parking where permitted.
Always check for bicyclists before entering the lane and yield to them - cutting off a cyclist can result in a crash and a traffic citation. Never use the bike lane to pass other vehicles or as a shortcut through traffic.
