Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
A bicyclist is traveling below the normal speed of traffic. Subject to safety and the listed legal exceptions, where should the bicyclist ordinarily ride?
Correct answer: With traffic, as near the right side as practicable, with lawful exceptions.
Why
A bicyclist traveling below normal traffic speed should ride as close as practicable and safe to the right edge, with traffic. Exceptions include passing, preparing for a left turn, avoiding hazards or parked vehicles, a lane too narrow to share safely, and approaching a place where a right turn is allowed. On a one-way road with at least two marked lanes, a bicyclist may ride near the left edge.
