<p>I have tried to find the answer to this question on the internet and even asked a cop but have not found an answer. For a street with the typical bike lanes, when a car is parallel parking, can they pull into the bike lane to make the maneuver or do they have to stay in the vehicular lane and only cross the bike lane when parking. Is the law specific on this?</p>
