Answer: C. According to Section 7.F of the Maryland Driver's Manual, bicycles are vehicles under Maryland law. Bicyclists are permitted to use the roadway and must obey all traffic control signals, and motor vehicle operators must treat them with equal care and respect. Motorists must yield right-of-way to bicycles in designated bike lanes and look carefully before turning across traffic lanes.
