Cyclists in the Bronx and throughout New York must adhere to the same laws that apply to motor vehicle drivers, but cyclists also have the protections that come with the rules of the road. Some exceptions exist, and some special rules apply only to bicyclists. For example, cyclists cannot travel on interstates or expressways. Cyclists must obey all traffic control devices and signal for turns regardless of whether they are on a road, in a bike line, or riding in a shared-use path. In New York, cyclists may receive traffic tickets for failing to comply with the law, and parents may be held responsible when their children violate the law.
