You are entering a lane marked with a Begin Right Turn Lane sign. What does Florida law require of you at that point?
-
A.
Come to a full stop before crossing the bike lane
-
B.
Yield to pedestrians only, since bikes must stop
-
C.
Yield to any bicyclists traveling straight through Correct
-
D.
Take the lane immediately; other users must yield
The answer is "Yield to any bicyclists traveling straight through"
A Begin Right Turn Lane sign warns that bicyclists may be traveling straight in the same space you are entering, and you must yield to them. Choice A upgrades that yield into a mandatory full stop by analogy with a stop sign at an intersection, treating a yield situation as if it required coming to a rest.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Come to a full stop before crossing the bike lane
The manual requires yielding, not a mandatory stop, when the bike lane is clear. This answer upgrades a yield to a full stop by analogy with a stop sign at an intersection.
B. Yield to pedestrians only, since bikes must stop
Bicyclists in the bike lane, not just pedestrians, have priority at this point. This answer treats bicycles as always required to stop, rather than as through-traffic to be yielded to.
D. Take the lane immediately; other users must yield
Reverses the priority the sign establishes. This answer assumes a sign directed at motorists must give them the right of way.
