What regulations should a bicycle rider observe on the roadway?

Bicycle riders must follow the same regulations as drivers to ensure the safety of all road users. This includes obeying traffic signals, stop signs, and lane markings, which helps in maintaining an organized and predictable flow of traffic. By aligning with drivers' rules, cyclists can better navigate the road environment, react appropriately to changes, and reduce the risk of accidents.

Riding in the left lane is not typically correct for bicycles unless in a specific situation such as a one-way street or while preparing to turn left. Following only traffic signals, without regard to other regulations such as stop signs and right-of-way rules, is insufficient for safe cycling. Yielding to pedestrians is essential and should be part of a cyclist’s conduct, but it is only one aspect of the wider array of regulations that cyclists must adhere to on the road.
