What Should Bicyclists Know About Sharing Roads With Vehicles?
Bicyclists face increased risks when traveling near motor vehicles, particularly at intersections and along roads with limited space. Drivers should maintain a safe distance when passing bicycles and remain alert for riders entering or crossing their path.
Bicyclists can improve visibility by using lights and reflective equipment, especially during low-light conditions. Wearing a properly fitted helmet can also reduce the risk of serious head injuries during a fall or roadway collision.
Both drivers and bicyclists should obey traffic signals, signs, and right-of-way rules. Checking carefully before turning or changing direction can help prevent conflicts. Predictable movements also give other road users more time to react.
Safe road sharing depends on awareness from everyone using the roadway.
