Within how many feet of an intersection may you drive in a bike lane to prepare for a right turn?

You may use a bike lane to prepare for a right turn, but only within 200 feet of the intersection. This limit keeps bike lanes clear for bicyclists while still allowing you to position yourself for the turn. So, as you approach the intersection and plan a right turn, you can move into the bike lane after signaling and checking for cyclists, and you must exit the bike lane back into traffic before or as you reach the intersection, staying in the lane for no more than 200 feet. Longer distances would block cyclists and create hazards.
