Explanation
Bike lanes are designated for bicyclists and are marked with solid white lines, sometimes painted green for visibility. It is illegal to drive in a bike lane except under specific circumstances. One of the most common exceptions is when you are within 200 feet of an intersection and preparing to make a right turn. In that case, you may enter the bike lane, but you must always check for bicyclists and yield to them before merging into the lane. Never use the bike lane to pass other vehicles or as a trevel lane.
