In Pueblo, there are some laws that are specific to bicyclists.<\/p>\n
Colorado Revised Statute \u00a742-4-1412 lays out the rules of the road for cyclists.<\/p>\n
One of these rules is that a cyclist is required to signal before turning or stopping at 100 feet in advance.<\/p>\n
If riding below the posted speed limit, a cyclist must ride as close as practicable to the right-hand curve or the edge of the road.<\/p>\n
Bicycles can also ride on a paved right shoulder when it is available.<\/p>\n
Additionally, bicyclists are permitted to bike on pedestrian walkways.<\/p>\n
However, CRS \u00a742-4-1412 (10)(a) states a person riding a bicycle or electrical-assisted bike along a sidewalk, pathway, or crosswalk should yield the right of way to any pedestrian and give an audible signal before passing this individual.<\/p>\n
A person riding a bicycle should always ride in the right-hand lane and keep at least one hand on the handlebars.<\/p>\n
Some bike laws apply to motorists as well.<\/p>\n
In fact, cars must give three feet of space when passing a bicycle.<\/p>","hsc_add_button":"[elementor-template id=\"19900\"]"},{"_hsc_header_new":"How Can Breaking Bike Laws Impact a Case?","_hsc_sub_content_new":"
Adherence to traffic laws can have an impact on an injury case because if a person is found to not have followed the law, it can impact their liability, responsibility, and the cause of the accident.<\/p>\n
When the injured party is partially liable for their injuries, it can become more difficult to settle a case and it can weaken a claim in front of a jury.<\/p>\n
When a party is found to be at a percentage liable or at fault in a case, it can reduce their cause of action and their potential for settlement.<\/p>\n
For example, if a claimant was ten percent at fault and the other party was 90 percent at fault, then the court could reduce the claimant\u2019s compensatory award or settlement by ten percent.<\/p>","hsc_add_button":"[elementor-template id=\"19900\"]"},{"_hsc_header_new":"Contact a Pueblo Attorney to Learn More About Traffic Laws for Cyclists","_hsc_sub_content_new":"
