Frequently Asked Questions

In California, cyclists generally have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers and are entitled to share the road, though local rules on bike lanes and intersections can apply.
Are bicycle crashes more common at intersections?
Yes, intersections are a common site for car-bicycle crashes because of turning vehicles, limited visibility, and conflicting right-of-way.
What injuries are most common for cyclists in crashes with vehicles?
