The Chicago Municipal Code requires turning motor vehicles to "give room" to bicycles when negotiating a turn. What is interesting about this aspect of the City's code is that it explicitly addresses situations involving bicycles and does not "lump in" bicycles with motor vehicles.
- Section 9-16-020(e) requires vehicles making a left-hand-turn in front of an oncoming bicycle to yield the right-of-way to the bicyclist when the bicycle is in the intersection or so close to the intersection that the presence of the bicyclist is a hazard.
- Section 9-16-020(f) deals with motor vehicles attempting to make a right-hand-turn in front of a bicycle traveling in the same direction. This section requires the motorist to only make the right-hand-turn when the bicycle has been overtaken and is "safely clear of the bicycle."
