Bicyclists must obey all traffic signs and signals, including stopping at red lights and stop signs.
During nighttime and times of low visibility, bicyclists must utilize a front light visible from 500 feet, a rear red reflector or light visible from 600 feet, and reflective material on the bike visible from 600 feet on each side.
Bicyclists must use hand or mechanical signals to communicate intended movements, such as turns or stops, with other travelers, but signals need not be given continuously.
CT State law allows cyclists to ride two abreast but no more than two abreast.
Bicyclists must yield the right-of-way before entering or crossing any main-traveled or through highway if the roadway they are on is posted with a “yield-right-of-way” sign.
Do you know about the three-feet rule? Connecticut motorists must give bicyclists and pedestrians at least three feet of distance. If there is oncoming traffic and you can't give 3 feet, WAIT TO PASS.

Yes, in Connecticut it's legal to make a right turn on red after stopping (unless a sign specifies otherwise). But it's important that you come to a full stop before turning so you can check for pedestrians. Right turn on red? Stop and Look. Save a Life.

Fatal crashes among pedestrians and bicyclists increased by 13 percent after the end of Daylight Saving Time, according to a study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. If you are out walking or riding your bike, always wear reflective clothing to keep yourself visible. If you're driving, take it slow and keep a careful eye out for pedestrians. We need to look out for each other.

It gets harder to see after we turn the clocks back. That means you might not see that mom or dad pushing their little one across the street. Drive slowly and use caution!
