Why bike lanes have traffic direction rules
Doug Dahl breaks down Washington State law requiring cyclists to ride with traffic in bike lanes, not against it. The Revised Code of Washington treats bikes as vehicles following roadway rules, making wrong-way cycling illegal and dangerous. Sixty-five percent of cyclist-driver crashes occur at intersections, where riding against traffic creates unpredictable situations. Traffic control systems are designed for right-side travel, and wrong-way cyclists face serious risks when encountering other bikes or entering intersections. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-bike-lanes-arent-two-way-streets/ #BikeSafety #CyclingLaws #TrafficRules #WashingtonState #RoadSafety #Transportation #BikeLines #ClarkCounty #Opinion #TargetZero
