Sharing the Road: A Joint Responsibility

Whether on two wheels or four, all road users have a duty to prioritize safety. Cyclists should adhere to traffic laws, use designated bike lanes, and wear protective gear—including helmets and reflective clothing. Visibility is key, especially in low-light conditions, and using front and rear lights can significantly reduce the risk of an accident. Motorists must remain alert, especially near intersections, and allow at least three feet of space when passing a cyclist.

Staying Safe Around Larger Vehicles

When riding near larger vehicles such as trucks, SUVs, or buses, cyclists should take extra precautions. Avoiding blind spots and keeping a safe distance can be lifesaving. Meanwhile, drivers must remain vigilant, yield to cyclists when required, and never assume the road is clear without a proper check. A culture of awareness and mutual respect is essential to reducing collisions and keeping our roads safe for all users.
