Georgia Bike Sense: A Guide for Cyclists & Motorist
Published by the Georgia DOT: Motorists and Cyclists: Sharing Georgia’s Roads
In Georgia, motorists and cyclists share the road. Both have equal rights and responsibilities to obey all traffic laws. All road users should show respect and consideration to each other.
Georgia law was recently revised requiring motorists to allow a minimum of 3 feet clearance when passing a cyclist. Excerpt:
When passing a cyclist:
• Allow at least three feet between your vehicle and the bicycle. Just as the wind produced by a passing tractor-trailer can pull a car off course, so too can a passing car cause a cyclist to swerve out of control.
Good Video from Road ID on Rules of the Road.
