Topic overview

This chapter explains how to drive safely alongside pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, school buses, and large commercial trucks. It covers crosswalk right-of-way rules, the required following and passing distances for bicycles and motorcycles, and the "No-Zone" blind spots around trucks and buses.

The most heavily tested material includes when a driver must stop for pedestrians in a crosswalk, the minimum 3-foot passing distance for bicyclists, a motorcycle's right to use a full lane, and the rules for stopping (or not stopping) for a school bus with flashing lights.

A common mistake is assuming bicyclists must stay in a bike lane when one exists (they don't) or that a car and a motorcycle can safely share one lane. Another frequent error is misunderstanding the school bus median exception, or forgetting that large trucks have blind spots directly behind and in front of them, not just to the sides.

Do bicyclists have to ride in a bike lane if one is provided?

No. Georgia law lets bicyclists use the full lane on any road except interstates and interstate-like limited-access highways, and they are not required to use a bike lane even when one exists.

When must a driver stop for a school bus that is loading or unloading passengers?

Drivers approaching or following a stopped school bus with flashing lights must stop, except on a highway divided by a median strip, where only vehicles traveling in the same direction as the bus must stop.

Why is following a large truck too closely dangerous?

Trucks and buses have large "No-Zone" blind spots to the side, rear, and front; tailgating puts a driver in the truck driver's rear blind spot and removes the driver's own view of traffic ahead of the truck.
