Section 11-801 or in paragraph (b) of this Section.
(b) A person riding a bicycle or moped intending to turn
left shall approach the
turn as close as practicable to the right curb or edge of the roadway.
After proceeding across the intersecting roadway to the far corner of the
curb or intersection of the roadway edges, the bicyclist or moped driver shall stop, as much as practicable out of the way of
traffic. After stopping the person shall yield to any traffic proceeding
in either direction along the roadway such person had been using. After

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Department
and local authorities in their respective jurisdictions may cause official
traffic-control devices to be placed and thereby require and direct that
a specific course be traveled by turning bicycles and moped,
and when such devices are so placed, no person shall turn a bicycle or
moped other than as directed and required by such devices.
