Rules of the road
As a cyclist, you must share the road with others (e.g., cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, etc.).
Under Ontario's
Highway Traffic Act (HTA), a bicycle is a vehicle, just like a car or truck.
Cyclists:
- must obey all traffic laws
- have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers
- cannot carry passengers - if your bicycle is only meant for one person
Riding on the right
You must stay as close to the right edge of the road whenever possible, especially if you're slower than other traffic.
Where you can ride
You can ride on most roads,
except:
- controlled access highways, such as Ontario's 400-series highways
- across a road within a pedestrian cross-over - you must walk your bike to the other side
Bike helmets
Children and youth
By law, every cyclist under age 18 must wear an approved helmet.
Riders under 16 years old: a parent or guardian must make sure their child wears a helmet.
Adults
Helmets are not compulsory for adults over 18; but a helmet can greatly reduce the risk of permanent injury or death if you fall or collide. It is strongly recommended that all riders wear helmets.
Types of helmets
The best helmets:
- are made to meet strict safety standards
- fit properly when worn correctly
