The suitability rankings of the roadways apply to cyclists experienced in operating on the roadway network with other motorized vehicles. Inexperienced cyclists looking for facilities free of motorized vehicles should refer to the multiuse path (purple) facilities. Every bicyclist will not agree with all of the ratings within the Bicycle Suitability Map. All bicyclists must use good judgement regarding their skill levels to determine the routes most appropriate for them.
Did you know that under NC state law, bicycles are classified as vehicles - and have the same rights to the road, and must obey the same rules, as a car or truck? Make yourself visible to drivers by using front and rear lights at night, use hand signals to announce turns or stops; and ride as far to the right as practical, unless you need to take the lane.
N
Wear a helmet. It could save your life. Obey all traffic signals and stop at “Stop” signs and red lights.
