Rules of the Road – Bicycling on the Road 
Bicycles
in many States are considered vehicles, and cyclists have the same rights and
the same responsibilities to follow the rules of the road as motorists. When
riding, always:
- Go
With the Traffic Flow. Ride on
the right in the same direction as other vehicles. Go with the flow – not
against it.
- Obey
All Traffic Laws. A bicycle is a
vehicle and you’re a driver. When you ride in the street, obey all traffic
signs, signals, and lane markings.
- Yield
to Traffic When Appropriate. Almost always, drivers on a smaller road
must yield (wait) for traffic on a major or larger road. If there is no stop
sign or traffic signal and you are coming from a smaller roadway (out of a
driveway, from a sidewalk, a bike path, etc.), you must slow down and look to
see if the way is clear before proceeding. This also means yielding to
pedestrians who have already entered a crosswalk.
- Be
Predictable. Ride in a straight
line, not in and out of cars. Signal your moves to others.
- Stay
Alert at All Times. Use your
eyes AND ears. Watch out for potholes, cracks, wet leaves, storm grates,
railroad tracks, or anything that could make you lose control of your bike. You
need your ears to hear traffic and avoid dangerous situations; don’t wear a
headset when you ride.
- Look
Before Turning. When turning
left or right, always look behind you for a break in traffic, then signal before
making the turn. Watch for left- or right-turning traffic.
- Watch for Parked Cars. Ride far enough out from the curb to avoid the unexpected from parked cars (like doors opening, or cars pulling out).
