[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should let the biker come to a stop at the sign. They are coming up to an intersection and have no obligation to stop before reaching the sign. It’s like merging lanes, and you need the lane to be clear.

That makes no sense if the car is legally turning from the lane to the left and the bike gets there second. The bike HAS to stop behind the car and let it go. Passing on the right is dangerous, especially when the car has signaled a turn. Is simply is not true that the bikers always have the right of way.[/quote]

The driver is NOT legally turning from the lane to the left, because the driver is supposed to be all the way to the right before turning right.

The bicyclist has to stop AT the stop sign, not BEFORE the stop sign.

When bicyclists ride in line with the cars, some drivers get upset because the bicyclists are supposed ride to the right. When bicyclists ride to the right, some drivers get upset because the bicyclists are supposed to ride in line with the cars.[/quote]

And when there are bikelanes, bikes ride to the right. If a car is turning right, it needs to be in the rightmost lane, so everyone is in line with the cars/bikes. If a bike is turning left, it needs to take the left lane so that the bikes/cars are in line at that point. This is not that hard. [/quote]
