AZGOHS supports cyclist’s rights
Posted on February 28th, 2010 1 commentFrom the AZGOHS (Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety):
You (bicyclists) may ride far enough from the road edge to stay clear of surface debris, potholes, rough pavement, drain grates, and pavement joints, as well as to avoid pedestrians, dogs, parked vehicles, and other objects.You (bicyclists) may occupy any part of a lane when your safety warrants it. Never compromise your safety for the convenience of a motorist behind you.
I picked up this tidbit from the googlegroup BicycleDriving An Incredible Statement…
This isn’t really remarkable or anything, except in light of the various strange interpretations of various Law enforcement agencies which result in improper application of the law(e.g. Flagstaff, Flag/Coconino Sheriff, Tempe & Pima Sheriff …)
