Arthur makes a salient point about right turns across bike lanes. As a driver safety educator at AAA of Wisconsin, we are very specific in teaching this. When turning right from a street that has a bike lane to the right:
Signal Blind Spot Check (for cyclists) Turn into the bike lane Position for safe right turn by curb Proceed when safe and legal As a cyclist it is safer to be in Front or behind the car - not filtering up (potentially unseen) by vehicle operator. It is better to be seen. I go out if my way to be seen (often assuming position in the traffic line) it is not safe to turn right 6+ feet away from curb. I agree. I rarely see motorists doing this.
