This is quite explicitly labeled in the Oregon Drivers manual. Page 39:



"You may not pass on the right if any part of your vehicle will be
off the paved part of the highway or into a bike lane. A vehicle may
not drive in the bicycle lane to pass on the right. Use extra care when
you pass on the right. Other drivers do not expect to be passed on the
right."



We keep a copy of the manual to resolve disputes about what is and
isn't allowed.

Thanks

I have a question. it seemsI get cut off quite a few times by cars passing on the right to go aroudn cars turning left. They pass into the bike and/or parking lane. sometimes rolling from as far back as 6 car lengths. I'm pretty used to it, but it really irritates me. Are there any laws that pertain to this type of driving? 

This not only disrupts the flow of traffic, but has caused several accident, some right in front of me, from cars in the oncomming lane turning left who don't see these drivers comming around. 

don't get me wrong. I'm all for sharing the road, and do it as respectively as possible on all occasions.

I remember something similar but contradictory while reading the drivers manual years ago. 

Is the bike lane considered a viable route for an automobile?

how would one go about requesting "stings" at certain intersections? I can think of a dozen where this happens regularly.
