Document:
Bicycles are permitted on all roadways, as well as concrete and asphalt pathways, grass, and sidewalks, with the exception of times when there is heavy pedestrian traffic on sidewalks and pathways. When operating on a roadway, bicyclists must obey all laws pertaining to vehicular traffic.
Bicycle parking is regulated by the Alternative Transportation office, and is enforced by Parking Services. All bicycles must be parked in designated bicycle racks and must be registered with Parking Services prior to being parked on campus. To register your bike, use the Parking Services Bicycle Registration form.
Mopeds and motor-scooters do not fall under the policies for bicycle parking. Individuals driving mopeds and motor-scooters must purchase and display a parking permit and must park in the designated moped/ motor-scooter or motorcycle parking spaces, and not at a bike rack. These vehicles are not permitted on sidewalks except to access designated parking.
The following codes regulate the use of bicycles, EPAMDs, electric power-assisted bicycles, and mopeds (see COV1§ 46.2-100 for definitions) within the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Traveling in the same direction as traffic (COV § 46.2-802).
Abiding by traffic signs and speed limits (COV § 46.2-830).
Signaling for turns (COV § 46.2-848).
Passing other vehicles (COV § 46.2-907).
While traveling on a roadway, bicycles, EPAMDs, electric power-assisted bicycles, and mopeds must be equipped with forward facing white light and a red rear facing reflector. When operating on any highway with a speed limit of 35 mph or greater a rear facing red light is also required (COV § 46.2-1015). Please read the referenced code for light and reflector specifications.
A person riding across roadways may make use of crosswalks with the same rights and responsibilities of a pedestrian. When riding through a crosswalk no such vehicle shall enter or cross an intersection in disregard of approaching traffic (COV § 46.2-924). Operators are encouraged to dismount while crossing.
A person riding on a sidewalk, shared-use path, or across a roadway on a crosswalk, shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian and shall give an audible signal before overtaking and passing any pedestrian (COV § 46.2-904).
Every person operating a moped, as defined in COV § 46.2-100 , on a public street or highway shall wear a face shield, safety glasses, or goggles of a type approved by the Superintendent or have his moped equipped with safety glass or a windshield at all times while operating such vehicle. Operators and passengers shall wear protective helmets of a type approved by the Superintendent.
