California driving lesson · Lane Markings & Lane Types
Bicycle lanes & bike markings
A 3-minute lesson from the California course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
Bicycle lanes run alongside vehicle traffic and are for bicyclists only. You may enter one only in a few situations, and you must check for cyclists first.
Know the rule
Bicycle lanes are typically marked by a single solid white line and signs, and are sometimes painted bright green to make them easier to see.
You'll turn right at an intersection 150 feet ahead, and a bike lane runs along the curb. Because you are within 200 feet, check your blind spot for cyclists, signal, then merge into the bike lane and make your turn from there.
