Be safe. Leave space. 🚗<------>🚲
As kids are travelling to school, people driving can expect to see more people cycling on the road. This is a great opportunity to take a few minutes to become familiar with how to share the road safely.
➡️When driving 60km/h or slower, you are required to leave a minimum of one metre when passing someone cycling.
➡️When driving faster than 60km/h the safe passing distance increases to 1.5 metres.
You may cross a single solid line to complete a pass if it’s safe to do so. If you can’t pass safely with the minimum amount of space, slow down and wait for an appropriate opportunity.
When cycling, ride as close to the curb as possible, recognizing that you may need to use the full travel lane to make a turn, and to avoid debris and parked cars.
