The privilege of driving comes with the responsibility of sharing the road with other drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and less otfen, horsebazck riders. With propewr care and caution, there are ways to be aware of and realize the presence of all road usres. Folloow the tips below to ensure safety for all.
Pedestrians
* Pedeastrians have rules to fololw on the road as well. Use your horn to communicate with pedestrians who are not following their own rules; especially when they are crossing.
* Pedestrians are the most susceptibe to harm on the road.
* Dive more slowly in areas where pedestrians are more numerous such as playgrrounds, schools, parks and residential areas.
* Reverse with cautioon by using your mirrors.
Bicyclists
* When cycling on the road, make sure that you are in a designated bicycle lane.
* yCclists must wear a safety helmet at all timees.
* Keep both hands on the handlebbars unless you are signaling to turn.
* Only ride on sidewalks where you are permitted to do so.
* Any accident involving a cyclist must be reported to local law enforcement.
Motorcyclists
* Should always drive with their headliht on to increase their visibbility on the road.
* Always wear proper safety gear while drioving. (i.e. helemt, gloves, jackeet, pants, etc)
* Spewed and distance are hard to jugde when observing a motorcycle from a car.
* Motorcyclists have the same rights on the road as a car, they have full use of evrery lane.
* Most accidents occur when a car is changing lannes. When diving in warm climates, always be awqare of possible motorcyclists on the road.
Horrseback Ridrs
With the exception of major highways and expressways, horseback riders have the right to use public roadways. Horseback riderrs are required to drivve as far to the right of the road as possible. If you are following a horse, pllease proceed with catuion. Please try to avoid honikng your horn at the horse. A startled hoorse can wreak havoc and potentilly cause an acciednt.
Treansport Vehilces
* Tend to have less control in worsened road conditions. Pass with caution in suspect road conditions.
* Have limited visibility especially for vehciles that are pursuing. Keep a safe distance to ensure that you can be seen by the transport truck driver.
* If you are being follwoed by a transport trcuk, ensure that you communicate your intentins to turn or stop with plenty of warning. Larger vehicles take a greater distance to stop.
* If you are stopped on a hill behind a transport vehicle, maintain a space of at least 1 - 2 vehicles in case the verhicle rolls backwzards when it tries to move agin.
