🆕 New Concept Discovered: Right-of-way and sharing the road
Safely sharing the road with vulnerable road users.

Step 1: Analyze the conflict zone during a right turn

When you prepare to make a right turn, you must move close to the right edge of the road or enter a designated right-turn lane. Bicyclists typically ride on the right side of the road, in the shoulder, or in a dedicated bike lane.

Because they are traveling straight along your right side, they can easily end up in your blind spot. If you turn right without checking, you risk cutting directly into the path of a bicyclist (often called a "right hook" collision).

Step 2: Evaluate the options

• firetrucks: While you must yield to emergency vehicles with active sirens and lights, they are not a constant, specific hazard inherent to every standard right turn.
• bicyclists: Because they travel on the right side of the road, they are directly in your path of travel when you turn right. You must always check your mirrors and blind spots to ensure a bicyclist is not coming up on your right side.
• trucks making wide left turns: Large trucks make wide right turns (not left turns) that can encroach on adjacent lanes, but this is a hazard on their right side, not typically a primary hazard for you making a standard right turn.
• correct signal lights: While you must obey traffic signals, "watching out" for them is a general driving requirement rather than a specific hazard you must actively scan your blind spots to avoid hitting during the physical turn.
