Those aren’t bicycle lanes, they’re clear zones to protect drivers so they won’t hit a tree or a pole and ding their $100k truck.

All that could happen is that they kill a bicyclist and drag them for a few hundred feet, but that washes off.

If the truck on the bottom right made a right turn instead of going straight, it would cross a cycle lane.

But that right turn would mean driving in the wrong direction. See the arrows? Diverging diamond intersections Force traffic to drive on the left side of the road instead of the right.

I think he means take a right onto the freeway on-ramp, just before the diverging part.
