Ride on the right with the flow of traffic—NEVER ride
against traffic on the road, in a bike lane, or on a
sidewalk. Drivers turning from the side cannot see
you and approaching drivers will not expect you to
be riding the wrong way (A.R.S. 28-815).
Watch out for glass, grates, oily
pavement, loose gravel, cattle
guards and railroad tracks.
Check behind to make sure it’s
safe, signal your intentions,
then move to the left to
avoid the hazard.
WAY
Remember that you may “take the lane” if the lane is not wide enough for both
a car and a bike (A.R.S. 28-815). Check behind to make sure it’s safe, signal
your intentions, and take the lane by riding 1/3 to 1/2 of the way into the lane.
When safe and possible, move to the right to allow a following vehicle to pass.

Cyclists are urged to use facilities that are suitable for their
individual cycling skills and to be aware that, during certain times of
the day, traffic volumes may be unsuitable for their cycling abilities.
See safety tips on this page.
Look for people in parked cars ahead of you and ride in a straight line at least 5
feet away from the car. Someone may open the car door in front of you
unexpectedly. Be predictable: don’t weave in and out between parked cars.
Wear white or brightly colored shirts and consider reflective clothing for
nighttime use. A white front headlight and red rear reflector are required on
your bike if you ride at night. (A.R.S. 28-817). You should also use a red rear
taillight.
On a shared use pathway always slow down when approaching pedestrians,
give a verbal warning you’re about to pass, and provide at least 5 feet passing
distance. Remember: The pedestrian you are courteous to on the pathway may
be the driver who treats you well when you’re cycling on the roadway.

10.43.010 Requirement for helmet use
No person under eighteen years of age shall ride a bicycle or be a
passenger on a bicycle, ride in a restraining seat attached to a bicycle,

headgear. (Ord. 1995-12 § 1 (part), 1995)
10.43.030 Civil penalties
Any person in violation of this chapter shall be found guilty of a civil
infraction and be required to pay a minimum fine of fifty dollars that
cannot be suspended except pursuant to Section 10.43.040. (Ord.
1995-12 § 1 (part), 1995)
According to national
studies, 85% of brain
injuries can be prevented
by wearing a helmet.
Be a defensive bike ‘driver’
Cross tracks carefully
It shall be unlawful to park a bicycle upon any public sidewalk or street
in a manner that substantially impedes pedestrian or vehicular traffic
or obstructs access to public or private facilities.
SEC. 5-2. Riding on sidewalks and pedestrian paths, and
through underpasses
A. It shall be unlawful to ride a bicycle on any public sidewalks, or
upon a designated pedestrian path in any public park, unless signs are
posted specifically permitting bicycling.
B. It shall be unlawful to ride a bicycle through any underpass when
signs are posted prohibiting bicycling.
SEC. 5-3. Enforcement
Any violation of a provision of this chapter shall be a civil infraction,

traffic, which could cost you your
life.

Riding two abreast is permitted by law (A.R.S. 28-815), but under a separate law
(A.R.S. 28-704) bicyclists may not unnecessarily slow motor vehicle traffic. You can
help drivers pass on two-lane roadways without bike lanes by riding single-file
when safe to do so (stay at least 2 to 3 feet from the edge of the road). It’s always
nice to give a friendly wave when drivers pass and give you plenty of clearance.
Watch ahead for hazardous railroad and trolley tracks. Look behind you to make
sure it’s safe, signal your intentions, then cross tracks as close to a right angle as
possible (A.R.S. 28-815).
The League of American Bicyclists designated the Tucson-Pima Eastern
Region a Gold Bicycle Friendly Community in April 2006.
