A solid white line on the left of a bike lane designates the boundary vehicles must not cross except when making a legal turn that requires entering the bike lane.
What does a 'yield line' (a row of small triangles pointing toward approaching traffic) at an intersection indicate?
Answer: You must yield the right-of-way to conflicting traffic before crossing the line
