Bike Laws

Bicycle advocates continue to shape our traffic laws to better accommodate people on bikes

Bicycle advocates have fought hard for the right to the road and continue to shape our traffic laws to better accommodate people on bikes and all multimodal transportation choices. The League’s bike law resources help you understand the laws that affect bicycling and connect our current legal landscape to the advocates who are pushing for better laws.

Our resources:

• Look beyond helmet laws, providing summaries and legal citations for 11 categories of law related to bicycling for all 50 states and the District of Columbia and share helpful links to other state advocate and agency resources
• Provide model legislation for important issues like Vulnerable Road User laws
• Highlight the current landscape and share indepth analysis of our nation’s bicycling-related laws
• Show how you can take advantage of the federal bicycling commuter benefit
