Traffic safety is a shared responsibility! This May, Prevention First's Impaired Driving Prevention Program, is joining National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in spreading awareness about bicycle safety among all road users.

If you see a bicyclist, slow down and maintain a safe distance: bicyclists are most often killed by drivers who strike them with the front of their vehicles, often at high speeds. Never drive distracted or impaired, and look left-right-left and behind when turning right on red. Yield to bicycles as you would other vehicles.

For more information about bicycle safety, visit NHTSA.
