Rules of the Road for Cyclists and Pedestrians

Bicyclists, like all others who use city streets, have a responsibility to operate bicycles in a safe manner, with due respect for rules of the road and the often unpredictable actions of other drivers and riders.

Pedestrians at Risk

Pedestrians are also expected to obey traffic signals, cross in crosswalks where they are available, and in general, practice safety just as motorists and bicyclists must. Often times even though a pedestrian is following the rules of the road and has the right-of-way, a reckless driver seriously injures them or the pedestrian or cyclist is killed as a result of a driver's careless actions.

Dangerous City Streets

Bicycle and pedestrian accidents can happen anywhere, but they are most common in congested city traffic. Cars, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians often integrate with the surrounding traffic as they attempt to get from Point A to Point B without delay. If you are seriously injured and cannot visit one of our offices, a member of our professional  staff will visit you at your home or hospital.
