What type of vehicle can take an entire lane when riding in traffic?

In traffic conditions, bicycles are recognized as vehicles that are entitled to occupy an entire lane. This is due to safety considerations; by riding in the center of the lane, cyclists can avoid hazards such as potholes, debris, or parked vehicles that may infringe upon the bike lane. Additionally, when riding in a lane, cyclists create better visibility for themselves and can reduce the risk of collisions with motor vehicles, as it discourages drivers from attempting to pass too closely.

Motorcycles, while they can split lanes under certain circumstances, generally do not have the same right to occupy a lane fully as bicycles do. Pickup trucks and scooters typically operate within the framework of standard vehicle lane use and are subject to different traffic regulations. This distinction emphasizes the specific rights and responsibilities of cyclists within the roadway.
