Auto & Traffic Safety

Bicycles are legally considered "vehicles" on Washington’s roadways.

That means bicyclists must obey the rules of the road like drivers of any other vehicle and must be treated as equal users by all other vehicles.  The best way to avoid collisions is to be prepared and be aware of other vehicles around you.  Avoid common bicyclist errors and common motorist errors committed around bicyclists.

What can you do?
  • Never leave your keys in your car... Don't make it easy to steal!
  • Never hide a second key on the car.
  • Lock your car.
  • Park in a well-lighted area.
  • Don't leave valuables in plain sight.
  • Use anti-theft devices like car alarms, locking bars, and kill switches.
  • Never leave the motor running while running a quick errand.
  • Completely close car windows.
