These responsibilities are deÿ ned under the High- way Trafÿ c Act. Cyclists, who ride predictably, following the rules of the road and behaving like other vehicles, are likely to be treated like vehicles and are also more likely to be seen by other road users. Reducing con° icts among road users re- duces the risk of collisions. Children under the age of 10 do not have the judgement to ride bikes in trafÿ c, but they can learn the rules of the road by riding with adults. Additionally, children and adults must master ba- sic bike handling skills such as riding in straight lines, stopping, shoulder checking and correct sig- naling, before venturing into trafÿ c. There are basic trafÿ c principles that allow cyclists to ride safely in most trafÿ c situations.
Positioning
• Ride on the right side of the roadway, not on the left or on the sidewalk. • Cycling in the wrong direction is the second major cause of car/bike collisions. • Riders who drive facing traffi c are vulnerabl because motorists do not expect to meet trafÿ c coming the wrong way. • Riding on the sidewalk is dangerous for similar reasons. Pedestrians do not expect to meet cyclists. • As well, each driveway becomes a potential intersection. Local bylaws often set out the age limit or the size of bicycles allowed to drive on sidewalks. • According to the Act, any vehicle moving more slowly than normal trafÿ c must drive in the right hand lane or as close as Increasingly, bike lanes are at an intersection.
