Under what condition is a bicyclist not required to ride on the right side of the roadway?

A bicyclist is not required to ride on the right side of the roadway while making a left turn at an intersection because, at that moment, they are preparing to navigate through the intersection and need to position themselves appropriately for the turn. This maneuver typically involves moving to the left side of the lane to align correctly with the intended direction of travel. It is crucial for the safety of the cyclist and the flow of traffic that they occupy the proper lane during such actions.

While there are circumstances that may influence a bicyclist's position on the road, such as passing stationary vehicles, the need for safety during inclement weather, or the presence of bike lanes, these do not specifically grant the same requirement to shift positioning as making a left turn does. Understanding this will help cyclists navigate intersections safely and effectively.
