NO, they don’t! Bicycles are viewed as vehicles, meaning that they’re required to follow the same traffic laws as cars in terms of yielding the right-of-way at stop signs or stoplights. Not only should you yield the right-of-way to other vehicles when required, but you should also use extra caution when you have the right-of-way, ensuring that drivers see you and have adequately yielded before you enter an intersection. This is for your own safety—bicycles offer VERY LITTLE protection against a collision with a motor vehicle!
