Rules of the Road for Bike Riders

Obey All Traffic Laws

On the roadway, a bicycle is a vehicle.  Bicyclists have the same rights as drivers, but they also have the same responsibilities, including having to make a complete stop at stop signs and red lights.  Save $209.*

 

Ride With Traffic

Riding against traffic is a major cause of bike-car collisions.  Follow the law by riding with traffic.  Save $151.*

 

Be Predictable - Act Like a Car

Ride straight - don't weave around parked cars.  When in a group, ride two abreast only on quiet streets and roads, and single up when cars need to pass.

 

Warn Others When Approaching

Bicyclists must yield to pedestrians.  Be courteous - ring your bell or give a friendly greeting when approaching from behind.

 

Signal All Turns

Look back before you make a lane change or turn.  Use your arm to signal an upcoming turn.

 

Lights At Night

Use a headlight and a red rear reflector - or better yet, a red light - when riding at night.  Save $65.*

 

Ride to the Right

Stay as close to the edge of the road as is practicable, so as to allow others to pass.

 

*Amount represents 'waiver' penalty.  Actual fine amounts may vary.
