Road safety for cyclists

Here are some tips to help you ride safely on our roads.

Do:

  • Stay visible - ride well clear of the kerb, wear bright clothing and always use lights after dark or in poor weather conditions.

  • Show drivers what you plan to do - always look and signal before you start, stop or turn.

  • Ride in a straight line past parked cars rather than dodging between them.

Don't:

  • Jump red lights

  • ride on pavements

  • ride the wrong way up one-way streets - unless there's a sign saying that cyclists can

  • ride across pedestrian crossings.
