If there is no lane specifically conditioned for a left turn, how must cyclists perform this maneuver on an interurban road?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations establish an important exception for cycles (bicycles) and mopeds on interurban roads. To turn left, if there is no specific lane, they must not position themselves next to the center line as a car would. They must position themselves to the right, outside the roadway whenever possible (on the shoulder), and initiate the turn from there when the road is clear. This is done to prevent them from being hit from behind by faster vehicles while waiting to turn.
