• Give pedestrians the right-of-way.
• Do not ride too close to pedestrians and alert them if you intend to
pass them from behind.
• Slow down at all street intersections and look to the left and right
before crossing.
• Obey all traffic signals.
• Always use proper hand signals for turning and stopping. Give
signals 100ft before stopping or turning and always return both
hands to the handlebars before stopping or turning.
• Watch for cars pulling out into traffic and for the sudden opening of
car doors.
• Avoid potholes, drainage gates or other hazards.
• Cross railroad tracks at a right angle.
• Be careful when riding on soft road edges, gravel, sand and uneven
surfaces. Ride slowly and avoid quick turns when riding on these
surfaces.
• Never hitch onto other vehicles.
• Do not “stunt” ride or race in traffic.
• Do not weave in and out of traffic or swerve from side to side.
