No person in any vehicle shall throw or discharge from or upon any road, highway or adjoining area, pubic or private, any lighted or non-lighted cigarette, cigar, match or any flaming or glowing substance. No person shall throw or deposit upon a highway any bottle, can garbage, glass, wire, nails, paper or any substance likely to injure or cause damage to traffic using the highway. For exact language, refer to the referenced sections in the California Vehicle Code. In addition to these state laws, many communities have local ordinances. Each year in California, over one hundred people are killed and thousands more are injured in bicycle collisions.
Bicyclists share a complex traffic environment with other larger forms of transportation.
