Safeway Driving Reality Check Adult Class Practice Exam

Which direction should you ride when riding a bicycle?

Against the flow of traffic With the flow of traffic Perpendicular to traffic It doesn't matter

Correct Answer:

With the flow of traffic

Explanation:

Riding with the flow of traffic is the safest and usually required direction for cyclists on roads. When you travel in the same direction as other vehicles, you’re predictable to drivers, can use the same traffic signals, and are operating under the same expectations as other road users. This reduces the chance of collisions that can happen when you face oncoming traffic, where drivers might not anticipate a cyclist approaching from the front. Riding perpendicular to traffic isn’t a practical or safe way to move through roadways, and saying it doesn’t matter ignores a real safety and legal difference. If possible, stay as far right as practicable and follow local rules, adjusting only when you need to pass or avoid hazards.
