What Should Drivers Know About Sharing the Road With Bicyclists?
Bicyclists share roadways with motor vehicles and can be more vulnerable during a collision. Their smaller size can make them harder to see, particularly near intersections, driveways, and areas with heavy traffic.
Drivers should provide bicyclists with adequate space when passing and remain alert for changes in their position. Checking mirrors and blind spots can help motorists identify bicycles that may be traveling alongside their vehicles.
Bicyclists can improve their visibility by using required lights and reflective equipment, especially during periods of reduced visibility. Following traffic signals and staying alert to surrounding vehicles can also help reduce the risk of collisions.
