What Should Drivers Know About Bicycle Safety?
Cyclists have less physical protection than people traveling inside motor vehicles, making crashes potentially serious even at lower speeds. Drivers should remain alert for bicycles when traveling through intersections, especially in areas with dedicated bike lanes or heavy bicycle traffic. Checking mirrors and blind spots before turning or changing lanes can help drivers identify cyclists.
Drivers should provide bicyclists with adequate space when passing and avoid making sudden movements into their path. Intersections can be particularly challenging because vehicles may cross bicycle lanes while turning. Slowing down and carefully checking the roadway can give drivers more time to react.
Cyclists can also improve their visibility by using lights and reflective equipment, particularly during periods of low light. Wearing a properly fitted helmet can help reduce the risk of serious head injuries. Both drivers and cyclists benefit when everyone follows traffic signals, remains predictable, and avoids distractions.
