Lights at Night! Headlights are mandatory at night, but are highly encouraged during dawn and dusk as well. A white light in the front and a rear reflector will increase safety!
Give me three! Leave at least 3 feet of space between yours car and a cyclist when passing. If you have to speed up to pass, it probably isn’t safe to do so.
Same Rights. Same Rules.
Just as motorists should never park or drive in a dedicated bike lane, there are spaces that cyclists should demount and walk their wheels.
Look twice. Drive nice. Since bicycles don’t have signals, keep a look out for cyclists to announce their movements using their arms.

Stop Left
