 Hi, I'm Sergeant Steve Wernicke with DPDTV. There's bike lanes already in Denver, but there's a new type of bike lane exclusively dedicated to bicycles in downtown Denver. Today we'll tell you where it is and we'll clear up some of the confusion surrounding the rules. It's Denver's first bikeway. I think it's long overdue and I'm thrilled to have it. Russ Nipper is a local Denver biker. I cycle and traffic quite a bit wherever I go. I haven't owned a car in 30 years. It's going to be an adjustment for motorists and bicyclists. People trying to get used to it. People cutting in front of you. They're trying to turn and everything else. It's a little bit confusing starting off. Besides no parking anytime, even to unload, there are laws that you need to know. The bike lane on 15th Street, we call it the 15th Street Bikeway. What the lane is for is it's for bicycles only. Now in the background you did see a car to turn left. As you're coming down 15th Street at each intersection that you can turn left on, there are signs saying left lane, left turns only. Bicycles accepted. What that means is as a motorist, as you're driving down 15th Street, you can get into that bicycle lane to turn left once you reach that sign. However, prior to doing that, check the area and make sure that there's no bicycles around. The 15th Street Bikeway is a benefit to everybody on the roads in Denver. The bicycle lane was put there for the safety of the bicycles and the safety of the motorists. The motorists don't have to worry that the bicycles will be weaving in and out of them. We ask that the bicycles stay in the bicycle lane, obey the traffic laws. We ask that the motorists stay out of the bicycle lane. But the bottom line is... The bicycle has the right of way at all times in the bicycle lane. A car must yield right of way when crossing the bicycle lane to a parking lot or to get into that lane to make a left hand turn. If you're interested in taking advantage of this dedicated bike lane, it exists downtown Denver on 15th Street between Cleveland and Larimer. Everybody, please beware of bikers.
