Driver Safety Around Bicyclists

The Alachua County Public Works Department informs drivers that with many children receiving bicycles for the holidays, there may be an increase in children riding bikes to schools. Public Works reminds drivers to take extra precautions.

Drivers should:

  • Always watch for bicyclists on the road.
  • Always stop and look in both directions before turning right on red.
  • Keep at least three feet between cars and cyclists.
  • Phone Down. Eyes Up. Buckle Up.

For more information, contact Alachua County Public Works Senior Engineer Technician Beth Dodd at 352-316-5609 or bdodd@alachuacounty.us.
