Safety is a shared responsibility. Motorists need to be watchful for pedestrians and bicyclists, drive at slower speeds, avoid distraction, and know the laws regarding when cyclists, and
pedestrians, have the right-of-way. Cyclists need to ride responsibly and predictably. Ride in the direction of traffic, as drivers may not be looking for you if you are riding the wrong way, and obey all signs and signals, including stop signs and red lights.
