Which of the following statements about bicycle riders' rights and responsibilities is true?

• A. Stop signs, traffic signals, and other controls.
• B. They are exempt from traffic signals.
• C. They must ride on sidewalks at all times.
• D. They are not allowed on roads.

Answer: (A)

Bicyclists must follow traffic controls the same as other road users. This means stopping at stop signs and red lights, obeying signals, and complying with road signs and markings while riding on roads or in bike lanes. Following these controls keeps movements predictable and reduces the chance of collisions, since both riders and drivers rely on the same rules to coordinate where to go and when to proceed. Statements claiming exemptions from signals, a requirement to ride on sidewalks at all times, or a prohibition from using roads are not correct because bicycles are treated as road users with corresponding responsibilities. When in doubt, ride as far to the right as practicable, follow signals, and yield to pedestrians and faster traffic when appropriate.
