Getting there safely
It Moves Us All Final Video from Share the Road on Vimeo.
People driving a vehicle, riding bicycles and pedestrians all have a responsibility in making the road safer (from Norfolk Pathways):
While biking:
- Obey ALL traffic laws, signs and signals
- Always bike on the right with traffic
- Signal all turns
- Be visible: wear bright colours and use lights in low light conditions
- Ride straight in a predictable manner
While driving:
- Only pass when the road ahead is clear
- Slow down and give one metre clearance to cyclists
- Yield to bicyclists when turning
- Don’t honk your horn at a bicyclist
- Check for bicyclists before opening your car door
