What helps create a bicycle friendly
community?
1. Good roads that are safe for bikes and
cars to share.
2. Educated drivers who respect bicycles
as part of traffic.
3. Educated cyclists who know how to
ride safely and smartly in the city.
4. Well planned neighborhoods that offer
interconnected bike and mass transit
routes.
5. Bike paths that offer a safe place for
beginner and casual riders.
Bicycling provides opportunities for active
transportation and recreation, helps conserve
the environment, promotes health and
economic development, and creates more
interaction among people.
Environmental Benefits - Motor vehicles are the
largest contributor to air pollutants that can cause
cancer and other serious health and environmental
effects. This is why it is important not only to
control air pollution produced by cars, but also to
decrease the number and mileage of cars on the
road. This can be achieved by planning and
designing cities where people have a choice to
walk or bike.
Health Benefits - The lack of safe walking and
cycling environments has a major impact on health
crises facing cities today. These effects can be
reduced by creating streets where people can walk
and bike safely and efficiently.
Economic Benefits - Building walkable and
bikeable infrastructure is more cost effective than
building roads and highways, and maximizes
access to transit. Bike lanes are much less
expensive to build and have a higher capacity to
move more people in less space.

additional information about bicycle safety,
advocacy, and bicycle commuting information.

SAFE BICYCLING IN ROSEMEAD
The City of Rosemead is on a path to improve
bikeways and bicycle parking facilities throughout
the City. Although improvements may take years,'
bicycling in Rosemead is encouraged as a healthy
and pleasant way to travel. Following these
guidelines for navigating the streets by bicycles will
help you be safe.
PLAN YOUR ROUTE
Always consider roads and traffic
conditions when planning your
route.
Major streets offer speed
especially if you're
comfortable riding in traffic.
• Residential streets are cleaner, quieter and safer,
but your ride may be slower and less direct.
• Look for street with stoplights at major cross
streets for easier and safer crossings.
• Bike paths and bike lanes are the best options,
depending on your destination.
RIDE SAFELY
Stop at all stop signs, red lights and
signals and follow right -of -way ^'�
rules. Bicyclists and passengers {�
under the age of 18 MUST wear a WEAR YOUR
helmet when riding. While they are HELMET
not mandatory for adults, a helmet
may protect you from a severe SAFETY FIRST
head injury in the event of a -- -
collision.
Ride with traffic.
r}� T
Ride on the right side of the
road and keep possible dangers
at a distance. Be aware of the
door zone from vehicles parked
on the street.
Use Hand Signals.
Hand signals tell motorists what you intend to do and
what direction you intend to go. Signaling is a matter
of law, of courtesy, and of self- protection.

Right Turn Left Turn Slow Down
or Stop
Ride predictably.
• Never ride against traffic.
• Ride with intent and confidence.
• Ride in a straight line and don't weave between
parked cars.
• Ride in the center of the lane in slow traffic or at the
same speed of traffic.
• Pass bicycles and right turning vehicles on the left.
• Follow lane markings and turn from the appropriate
lane.
BRcK)
• Avoid riding on
sidewalks. You pose a
threat to pedestrians,
and cars pulling out of
driveways pose a threat
to you.
• When moving across
lanes, move through traffic one lane at a time, or
wait for a gap in traffic and move across all
lanes at once.
• Obeying traffic signals and riding single -file will
help prevent accidents.
Ride defensively. Expect the unexpected.
Scan the road ahead. Anticipate drivers'
actions. Watch for cars pulling out of driveways
and parking spaces.
Don't assume drivers see you.
Make eye contact with drivers
making turns and avoid riding in
drivers' blind spots.
Watch and listen for vehicles coming behind
you. Quickly look over your shoulders or use a
rear -view mirror. Keep both hands ready to
break and be ready to turn quickly to avoid
dangers.
Use front and rear light when riding at night.
Flashing mode is best for catching a driver's
eye. A white front light, red rear reflectors, and
wheel and pedal reflectors are required by law,
• Wear bright colors by day
and light colors or reflective
clothing at night.
KNOW THE LAW
Know your rights. Legal bicycle riding is safe
riding. Protect yourself by knowing your rights
and responsibilities on the road. For the complete
text of the code, call the Department of Motor
Vehicles at (800) 777 -0133 or visit
www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/vc/vc.htm

Transportation Plan.
