  4. Bicycle Traffic Laws • Taken directly from Texas Department of Public Safety Texas Driver Handbook Chapter 13 pages 65-66 revised September 2017 • http://www.dps.texas.gov/internetforms/Forms/DL-7.pdf • A bicycle is a vehicle. Any person riding a bicycle has the same rights and responsibilities that apply to a driver operating a vehicle unless these cannot, by their nature, apply to a person operating a bicycle. • Any person who operates a bicycle is subject to the same penalties for violating a traffic law as a person operating a motor vehicle.

  5. Bicycle Traffic Laws • Taken directly from Texas Department of Public Safety Texas Driver Handbook Chapter 13 pages 65-66 revised September 2017 • All traffic convictions will be placed on the individual’s driver record, regardless if the conviction was for an offense committed on a bicycle or in a motor vehicle. • Generally, bikes are entitled to all rights and obligated to all duties of the road that apply to a motor vehicle.Tex. Transp. Code § 551.101, see also Tex. Transp. Code, Title 7, Subtitle C. Rules of the Road, Chapters 541 - 600.

  6. Bicycle Traffic Laws Unless a specific statutory right or duty is altered by Tex. Transp. Code Chapter 551, or a right or duty applicable to a driver cannot by its nature apply to a person operating a bicycle the same laws that apply to an operator of a motor vehicle apply to a person operating a bicycle. A person operating a bicycle, if moving slower than traffic, shall ride as near aspracticableto the right curb or edge of the roadway. Tex. Transp. Code § 551.103.By definition, roadway does not include the shoulder of the roadway. Tex. Transp. Code § 541.302.

  7. When is it allowable for a cyclist to "take the lane“ • Tex. Transp. Code § 551.103.: A person operating a bicycle on a roadway who is moving slower than the other traffic on the roadway shall ride as near as practicable to the right curb or edge of the roadway. Under the following conditions bicyclists may take the full lane of travel: • The person is passing another vehicle moving in the same direction • The person is preparing to turn left at an intersection or onto a private road or driveway

  8. When is it allowable for a cyclist to "take the lane" When there are unsafe conditions on the roadway, including fixed or moving objects, parked or moving vehicles, pedestrians, animals or surface hazards that prevents the person from safely riding next to the curb or edge of the roadway The lane is of substandard width (less than 14 feet wide and not having a designated bicycle lane adjacent to that lane) making if unsafe for a bicycle and a motor vehicle to safely travel side by side. Tex. Transp. Code § 551.103.

  9. When is it allowable for a cyclist to "take the lane“? When on a one-way street, a bicyclist can ride to the far left instead of the far right. Additionally, persons operating bicycles on a roadway may ride two abreast. Persons riding two abreast on a laned roadway shall ride in a single lane. Persons riding two abreast may not impede the normal and reasonable flow of traffic on the roadway. Also note, bicyclists can't make passage of traffic "unreasonably inconvenient". Tex.
