It’s a fact: drivers share the road.
Bicycle riders have the same rights and responsibilities as people behind the wheel of a vehicle.
Here are five safety tips from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association () for drivers when bicycle riders are present:
• Yield to bicyclists as you would motorists, and do not underestimate their speed.
• In parking lots, at stop signs, when backing up, or when parking, search your surroundings for other vehicles, including bicycles.
• Drivers turning right on red should look to the right and behind to avoid hitting a bicyclist approaching from the right rear.
• Obey the speed limit, reduce speed for road conditions and drive defensively to avoid a crash with a cyclist.
• Give cyclists room. Do not pass too closely. Pass bicyclists as you would any other vehicle.
