- A The bicyclist looks back and waves you around to pass them
- B The road to the left is clear far enough to pass safely
- C You sound your horn first
- D Never; no-passing zones have no exceptions
Show answer
B. The road to the left is clear far enough to pass safely
Kentucky allows you to cross the center line, even in a no-passing zone, to pass a bicycle or electric low-speed scooter, but only if the road to the left is clear far enough to pass safely without interfering with oncoming traffic.
