Bicycle signs — Colorado Permit Test

Bicycle signs on the Colorado permit test — 2 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.

The rules

A Bicycle May Use Full Lane sign reminds drivers that bicyclists have a right to ride in the center of the lane if hazards or poor visibility make the right side unsafe.

A rider in the middle of the lane is not being difficult. They are making themselves visible, usually because the edge is broken or full of grates.

They remind drivers that bicyclists have a right to ride in the center of the lane if they feel their safety is compromised by hazards or poor visibility if they were to ride in the right side of the lane

Colorado Driver Handbook, p.9

Bicycle and pedestrian crossing signs are posted where a shared use path crosses the roadway.

A shared use path brings walkers and riders to the road together and at different speeds. One sign has to cover both.

They are used where both bicyclists and pedestrians might be crossing the roadway, such as at an intersection with a shared use path

On the test

What does a Bicycle May Use Full Lane sign remind drivers?

Riders may use the center of the lane. A rider in the middle of the lane is not being difficult. They are making themselves visible, usually because the edge is broken or full of grates. Colorado Driver Handbook, p.9: “They remind drivers that bicyclists have a right to ride in the center of the lane if they feel their safety is compromised by hazards or poor visibility if they were to ride in the right side of the lane”

How this works

Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.

You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.

Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
