Bicycle signals — Delaware Permit Test

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

The rules

A traffic signal shaped like a bicycle has the same meaning as a round signal but applies only to bicyclists in designated bicycle lanes or paths.

A driver who obeys a green bicycle signal pulls out while the signal for cars is still red.

Alternately, there are bicycle signal indicators that have the shape of a bicycle. These signals have the same meaning as circular signal indicators, but are only applicable to bicyclists in designated bicycle lanes or paths.

Delaware Driver Manual, p.74

In Delaware, bicyclists riding in general travel lanes obey the regular round and arrow traffic signals.

A driver who expects a cyclist in the travel lane to follow a separate bike signal is surprised when the cyclist goes on the car green.

Bicyclists traveling in general travel lanes are to obey the regular circular and arrow traffic signals described in previous sections.

On the test

Whom does a traffic signal in the shape of a bicycle apply to?

Cyclists in a marked bike lane or path. A driver who obeys a green bicycle signal pulls out while the signal for cars is still red. Delaware Driver Manual, p.74: “Alternately, there are bicycle signal indicators that have the shape of a bicycle. These signals have the same meaning as circular signal indicators, but are only applicable to bicyclists in designated bicycle lanes or paths.”

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.
