[HOW TO USE BICYCLES AT COMPLEX INTERSECTIONS]
hi there smart drivers Rick with smart drive test talking to you today about
bicycles at complex intersections this is video number two in the Veda series
stick around be right back with that information
drivers welcome back Rick with smart drive test talking to you today about
bicycles at complex busy intersections this is the second in the Veda series
videos every day in the month of April at a comment from James and James
suggested the topic of talking about bicycles at busy intersections
especially with spring coming on here in the northern hemisphere and bicycles and
motorcycles starting to come out on our roadways now just before we started here
if you're new to smart drive test smart drive test helps new drivers get a
license veteran drivers remain crash free and CDL drivers to start a career
as a truck or bus driver so if you're new here hit that subscribe button as
well hit that Bell that way you'll get instant notification when I get the
videos up for you now you can see behind me here you're the bicycle lane and the
bicycle lane is painted green it's a slightly different texture than the
asphalt and the reason for that is because it runs alongside the right-hand
turning lane and because many cars do not get into the turning lane as soon as
the turning lane starts it poses a danger and a risk to cyclists who are
proceeding straight through the intersection often time times it creates
a point of conflict between cyclists and other road users those that are driving
for example buses and trucks and what not so as a cyclist you need to be very
careful about that when you're coming up alongside the right-hand turning lane
and a couple of things you can do to make yourself more visible on the
roadways to in here where hi vis bicycle gear like yellow jackets and neon colors
and those types things you have an assortment of them at the bicycle shops
the other thing you can do is stand up on your pedals so that you're bigger
physically bigger in the roadway and other road users see you especially
other drivers that are trying to merge into the right-hand turning lane so be
very careful if your cycle is proceeding straight through the intersection here
now if you're a driver try to get in the right-hand turning lane as soon as it
starts way back there that way you're going to reduce the chances of you being
in conflict with cyclists using the bicycle lane as a proceeding straight
through the intersection and then especially now that we're sort of
transitioning into spring transitioning into summer make sure you're looking out
for cyclists and for motorcycle riders because all of those are appearing on
our waise question for my smart drivers
