Drivers:
- Slow down and follow the speed limit. Be careful when driving through intersections.
- Look closely at cyclists and pedestrians before turning or opening car doors near streets or bike paths.
- Be patient when riding a cyclist. When overtaking or overtaking a cyclist, save a minimum of three (3) feet of space.
- Never drive distracted or weakened.
Cyclists:
- Use a light at night (at least the front white light and the rear red reflector).
- Although this is not required for riders 18 years of age or older, always wear a properly buttoned helmet. Helmets significantly reduce the likelihood of head injury accident event.
- Cyclists must ride in the same direction and have the same requirements as any slow-moving vehicle.
