Article X. BICYCLES, TOY VEHICLES AND MOTORIZED SKATEBOARD OR SCOOTER |
§ 25-396. Riding on roadways.
Every person operating a bicycle, toy vehicle or motorized skateboard or scooter upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place under conditions then existing shall ride as near to the right side of the street as safely practicable, except under any of the following circumstances:
(1)
When overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction;
(2)
When preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway;
(3)
When reasonably necessary to avoid conditions including, but not limited to, fixed or moving objects, parked or moving vehicles, pedestrians, animals, surface hazards, or substandard width lanes that make it unsafe to continue along the right curb or edge; a "substandard width lane" is a lane too narrow for a bicycle or motorized skateboard or scooter to pass safely side by side within the lane;
(4)
When avoiding riding in a lane that must turn or diverge to the right; and
(5)
When riding upon a one-way road or highway, a person may also ride as near the left-hand curb or edge of such roadway as safely practicable.
