What Are the Risks Cyclists Face When Sharing Roads in New Jersey?
Cyclists in New Jersey face real risks when riding along roads shared with motor vehicles, particularly on stretches without dedicated bike lanes or separated paths. Roads like South Main Road in Vineland carry a mix of passenger vehicles, commercial traffic, and cyclists, creating situations where the speed and size differences between a bicycle and a car can lead to serious injury in a crash. Leg and hip injuries are common outcomes when a cyclist is struck, since those areas of the body are often closest to the point of impact.
New Jersey law gives cyclists specific rights and responsibilities on public roads, including the right to use travel lanes when no bike lane is available. Drivers are required to give cyclists adequate space when passing. Despite these protections, crashes between bicycles and vehicles continue to occur regularly, particularly on busy commercial corridors where vehicle traffic is heavy, and drivers may not anticipate the presence of cyclists.
