When is a bicyclist not required to ride to the right of the road way?

Answer 1

A bicyclist is not required to move if

• they are traveling at the speed of traffic and are not causing an obstruction.
• or they have no vehicles behind them.
• or they are in a clearly marked Bicycle lane.
• or they are making a left hand turn.
• or they are crossing an intersection.

Answer 2

A person operating a bicycle on a one-way roadway with two or more marked traffic lanes may ride as near as possible to the right curb or edge of the roadway.

Answer 3

Technically, they are never REQUIRED to ride on the shoulder. As a moving vehicle, they have just as much legal right to the lane of the street as any other vehicle. But, most cyclists will of course be very happy to ride in the shoulder space of the road; given, of course, there is no debris such as glass, rocks, etc. or conditions that make them have to drift to the left into the lane.

A person operating a bicycle on a roadway who is moving slower than the other traffic on the roadway shall ride as near as possible to the right curb or edge of the roadway unless:

• They are on private property or off road.
• The person is overtaking and passing vehicle proceeding in the same direction
• The person is preparing for a left turn at an intersection or onto a private road or driveway
• There are unsafe conditions in the roadway such as fixed or moving objects, parked or moving vehicles, pedestrians, animals, potholes, or debris
• The lane is too narrow for a bicycle and a motor vehicle to safely travel side by side.
• When on a one-way street

When preparing to turn left.
