Frequently Asked Questions
Where do most car-bicycle collisions happen?
Many of these crashes happen at intersections or crossings, where a turning or crossing vehicle fails to see a cyclist in time, especially in low light or early morning hours.
What is "dooring" and why is it dangerous?
Dooring happens when someone in a parked car opens a door into the path of an oncoming cyclist, giving the rider little time to react and usually causing a fall or forcing them into traffic.
How can cyclists stay safer in traffic?
Riding with lights and reflective gear, following traffic signals, and riding predictably and visibly can help drivers spot cyclists sooner, particularly in the dark or at dawn.
What should a cyclist do after a crash with a car?
Cyclists should call 911, stay at the scene if possible, seek medical evaluation even for minor injuries, and wait for responding officers to document the crash.
