Tybee Island Police Department By FTO Bertram Whitley

- Never ride against traffic flow. Bicyclists must stay to the right side of the roadway, unless they are turning left or avoiding a roadside hazard. - Signal to other road users. Use hand signals to indicate your intentions to turn or stop. - Pull entirely off of the roadway if you need to stop. - Be visible. Wear bright colors so that you can be seen. Orange, yellow, fluorescent green. - Use of lights and reflectors. White light on the front of the bicycle and either a red reflector or light on the rear - Use of a mirror. Rear view mirrors can be extremely helpful and can help you monitor traffic approaching from behind.

- Be prepared to stop if your approaching a yellow light. Your bicycle moves slower than regular vehicle traffic, you will not have time to clear traffic before the traffic control device changes. - Use extreme caution when approaching driveways. Drivers backing from driveways typically are looking for oncoming vehicle traffic and rarely see oncoming foot or bicycle traffic - Use extra caution when operating near larger trucks and buses. These vehicles have large “blind spots” and can also take longer to stop - Ride in a predictable manner. Avoid sudden movements when operating your bicycle and never weave in and out of traffic.

 Children under the age of 16 must be equipped with a helmet. The helmet must meet or exceed the standards of the American National Standards Institute or the Snell Memorial Foundation. Any parent or guardian that knowingly permits a child to operate without a helmet can be found guilty of a misdemeanor.  No bicycle may be equipped or operated with handlebars that raise the operators hands above the shoulders  Every bicycle sold or operated must be equipped with brakes that allow the braked wheels to skid on a dry, level surface  No bicycle shall be equipped, modified, or altered in such a way as to cause the pedal in its lowermost position to be more than 12 inches above the ground

 Every bicycle when used at night must be equipped with a white light on the front visible from a distance of 300 feet and either a red reflector or red light on the rear visible from a distance of 300 feet  Pedals must be equipped with reflectors on the front and rear and be approved by the Department of Public Safety. Pedals must be visible during darkness from a distance of 200 feet

 By following Georgia traffic laws and taking a few extra precautions, risks are reduced significantly  Be visible to motorists  Use hand signals to show your intent to turn, make eye contact at intersections  Wave and smile when a motorist lets you through

 Always set a good example for children. Wear a helmet, stop at traffic control devices and stop signs. Ride responsibly.  Insist that kids wear helmets at all times. It is the law after all  When riding with children, be sure to point out safety hazards and encourage them to follow the rules of the road  Questions?
