Section 1 provides that a motor vehicle operator may not pass another vehicle on the right by moving into a bicycle lane.
Section 2 allows an operator of a motor vehicle to drive in a bicycle lane to perform parking maneuvers.
Section 3 specifies legal driving behavior when a motor vehicle operator is required to cross a bicycle lane to make a turn. A turn signal must precede the movement into the bicycle lane, and the driver can turn only after it is safe, yielding the right-of-way to approaching bicycles.
