What are the rights and responsibilities of bicyclists on roadways?
Bicycles are considered vehicles and, as such, have all the rights and responsibilities that apply to drivers of motorized vehicles. Specific information about bicycle rules and use can be found in the City of Seattle’s Official Traffic Code (Chapter 11.44). Examples of bicycle specific rules include riding on roadways, riding two abreast, the use of hand signals, and over-taking and passing on the right.
