In all 50 states, people on bikes are required to follow the same laws as other drivers.
Where to Ride In The Lane
The law states that people on bikes should ride as far right as practicable, but what exactly does that mean?
Lane Changing
Changing lanes in traffic can be challenging. Here’s how you can change lanes with confidence:
Intersection Position
Since most crashes happen at intersections, be sure to reduce your risk by being visible, positioning yourself clearly on the road, and making eye contact with other drivers.
Bike Lanes
A bike lane is a striped and signed lane that provides a dedicated space on the road for people on bikes. They should be used the same as any other travel lane, so follow the same rules of the road.
Sharing the Trail
Since the path can be congested it’s important to follow the same rules as everyone else in order to have a safe and enjoyable time.
