This study used a driving simulator to investigate driver behavior near bike lanes. The interaction between cars and bicyclists during passing maneuvers is a key factor in bike-related accidents. The study tested two scenarios: one with a road containing a bike lane and one without. Twenty-nine participants had two driving sessions, each matching one of the scenarios. The study used car and bike simulators allowing two participants to drive simultaneously on the same road network and interact live. Driver performance was evaluated by analyzing their interactions during 30-s overtaking maneuvers. Statistical analysis assessed the bike lane’s impact on driver behavior. The presence of a bicyclist led to significant changes in driver lateral movement and speed. When more space was available from the bike lane, drivers felt safer and increased speed to overtake bicycles. In conclusion, this study revealed that most drivers gradually approached bicyclists and accelerated to pass them quickly.
