What Should Drivers Know About Sharing Roads With Bicyclists?
Bicyclists have the same general right to use public roads as other road users, but they have far less physical protection during a collision. Drivers should remain alert when passing bicycles, turning across their path, or approaching intersections.
Checking blind spots before changing lanes is especially important because bicycles can be smaller and harder to see than motor vehicles. Drivers should also provide adequate space when passing and avoid distractions.
Bicyclists can improve visibility by using lights, reflective clothing, and other visibility equipment. Wearing a properly fitted helmet can also reduce the risk of certain head injuries. Both drivers and cyclists should follow traffic signals, watch for changing conditions, and remain attentive around intersections.
