Bike Goes Straight / Vehicle Turns Left - Rules?

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been covered earlier (a quick search on my part didn't turn up anything relevant). I'm wondering what the rules are in the following situation.

1. There is a bike lane on a road and a cyclist and vehicle are moving along in the same direction.
2. The vehicle then wants to turn left at an intersection (across the cycling lane).
3. The cyclist wants to go straight ahead.
4. The light is currently green.

Does the vehicle need to give way to the cyclist before crossing into the cyclist's lane?

Opinion wanted: BMC TimeMachine or TeamMachine

If you've ridden either, I'd appreciate hearing what you thought of it.

Thanks.

Early on the morning of May 27, 2017, I was returning from a long run out into Bergen, coming back over the George Washington Bridge, when I was hit by a cyclist on the bridge’s shared pedestrian/cyclist pathway and knocked to the ground.   In addition to sustaining assorted cuts and bruises, my arm was broken in a way that required surgery and may result in long-term impairment of the use of my elbow.
