When you are turning right and a bicyclist is
proceeding straight through the intersection,
do not speed ahead of the bicyclist and cut
him/her off as you are turning. He/she may not
be able to avoid crashing into the passenger
side of your vehicle.
Do not harass or endanger a bicyclist or
pedestrian. Harassment, which may include
threats, taunting, or intimidation, is a misde-
meanor offense. Reckless endangerment is
also a misdemeanor offense and involves con-
duct which places another person at risk of
personal injury.
You should yield to pedestrians under all con-
ditions. For more information on traffic laws
and safety procedures, obtain a copy of the
Colorado Driver’s Handbook at any driver’s
license office.
TIP: In Colorado, motorists and
cyclists share the road. Both have
equal rights and responsibilities to
obey all traffic laws. All users
should show respect and
consideration when sharing
the road.
