Ride with traffic to avoid accidents. Avoid dodging between parked cars. Ride in a straight line at least three feet away from parked cars. Watch for cars pulling out of parking spaces. Proceed with care.
Vehicles making turns are particularly dangerous.
Avoid being in a right turn-only lane if you want to go straight through an intersection. Move into the through lane early. It may be safer to take the whole lane in narrow lanes or slow traffic. Signal your intentions in advance. Move to the left turning lane, and complete the turn when it is safe.
