What Risks Do Bicyclists Face on Shared Roadways?
Mixed-use streets like Lake Avenue and Wilson Street may involve varied speeds and traffic types. Responders in Manchester often adjust traffic patterns during responses to protect both cyclists and drivers.
Bicyclists share the road with larger vehicles, which can make them harder to see. Intersections and turns can increase risk if drivers or cyclists misjudge distance or timing.
Road design, lighting, and visibility all affect safety. Wearing visible clothing and following traffic rules can help reduce the chances of a crash while traveling through busy areas.
