Bicycle Laws in California
California law provides clear protections for cyclists:
- Three-Foot Law – Motorists must give cyclists at least three feet of clearance when passing.
- Bike Lanes – Drivers may not drive in designated bike lanes except when turning or entering/exiting a roadway.
- Right-of-Way – Motorists must yield to cyclists in the same way they would to other vehicles.
- Helmet Laws – All riders under 18 are required to wear helmets. While not mandatory for adults, helmets are strongly recommended.
Despite these rules, drivers often fail to notice cyclists, cut them off, or collide with them in intersections and traffic merges.
