When turning across a bicycle lane, you must treat cyclists as you would other vehicles in the intersection: signal early and yield to cyclists. You should only cross the bike lane when it is safe—check for cyclists in or approaching the lane, slow down, and wait until it’s clear before turning. If a cyclist is in the lane or close enough to be affected by your turn, you stop and wait rather than proceeding. Never turn across a bicycle lane without signaling or ignoring cyclists. The best practice is to wait for the bike lane to be clear, signal early, and yield to cyclists before completing the turn.
