DON’T PASS ON THE
RIGHT
Motorists are not looking for bicyclists to
pass on the right even if the bicyclists are in
a designated bike lane. Establish your place
in traffic behind the motorist where you can
watch for turn signals. Drive defensively,
always use extreme caution when passing.

SIGNALS
RIGHT
Know and obey all traffic laws. Give
motorists a reason to respect bicyclists!
Don’t pass on the right - stay in the lane
It is illegal and dangerous to ride through
stop signs, red lights, impede traffic, ride
several abreast, or ride the wrong way down
a street. These illegal actions reinforce the
myth that bicycle drivers are irresponsible
and do not belong on the road.
By driving your bicycle in a safe manner
(watching out for yourself as well as others)
you make it easier for motorists to treat you
as an equal on the road and be polite to you
or the next bicyclist they see.
Stop at all red lights and stop signs
