Bicyclists
Passing requires special caution. Bicyclists should watch ahead for vehicles planning to turn right at an intersection or driveway. They should not pass to the right of motorists at intersections, as motorists might plan to turn right and will not see the bicyclist. Bicyclists should never try to pass a truck, bus, or van on their right. Don’t get into the motorist’s blind spot or other position where visibility is limited. Bicyclists should stay in front of or behind vehicles to always remain visible. On a shared use path, call out and pass on the left.
Motorists
To warn bicyclists not to pass on their right, motorists turning right should use their turn signal before merging into a bike lane marked with a dashed line. Before making right turns, motorists should always check mirrors and not overtake cyclists to avoid hitting the cyclists (a “right hook” crash).
Passing with bike lanes
Motorists should not drive in a bike lane. However, when turning across a bike lane, motorists should signal, scan to their right and rear, and then merge into the lane carefully. Bicyclists and motorists must share the road, whether or not bike lanes are provided.
