Frequently Asked Questions
What is "dooring" and why is it dangerous?
Dooring happens when a driver or passenger opens a car door into the path of an oncoming cyclist, giving the rider little time to react. It can cause serious falls or force cyclists into traffic.
How can cyclists stay safer in traffic?
Riding in visible areas, using lights after dark, wearing reflective gear, and following the same traffic signals as vehicles can all help reduce the chance of a collision.
What should a cyclist do after a crash with a car?
If possible, move to safety, call 911, and wait for police and medical responders. Getting the names of witnesses and documenting the scene can help with any later investigation.
Do cyclists have the same road rights as drivers?
In most states, including Washington, cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers, including the right to use the road and the duty to obey traffic laws.
