Explanation
Bicyclists are required to ride as far right on the roadway as safely practicable to facilitate traffic flow and enable safe vehicle passing. However, they may use the full travel lane when avoiding road hazards and unsafe conditions, or when lanes are too narrow for side-by-side vehicle sharing. All road users should be especially alert around cyclists. While both cyclists and motorists share equal road rights and responsibilities, motorists must recognize that bicyclists remain particularly vulnerable in collisions, requiring extra caution and consideration from drivers.
