Tips for Bicyclists
STOPPING
A bicycle is a legal vehicle with the same rights and responsibilities as a motor vehicle.
Bicyclists must follow all traffic rules, including stopping at signals and stop signs.
Bicyclists operating at less than the normal speed of traffic should ride as far to the right side of the roadway as possible unless passing another vehicle preparing for a left turn or avoiding an unsafe roadway condition or hazard. Ride single file and NEVER ride against traffic.
Obey Traffic Signs
Use a front light and rear light when riding at night. Increase visibility by wearing bright colors.
Stay Visible
Always wear helmets. Properly fitted helmets save lives and reduce injuries!
Protect Your HeadRide on the Right, Single File
Signal Turns
Obey the Law

This map illustrates traffic volume for general reference only. These are an estimated average along the noted roadway segment. Construction detours and other events may affect traffic volumes.
There are two numbers for each road segment. The larger (red) number is the average July daily traffic volume for all classes of vehicles on that roadway segment. The smaller (black) number is the average July daily commercial truck volume on that roadway segment.
The shoulder width indicated is the width of the pavement outside the fog line. This width may contain a rumble strip. Divided highway rumble strips are typically installed on the median side (left shoulder) of the roadway and on the outside (right shoulder).
Many bridges in Montana have minimal shoulder width.
Prevailing winds for Montana are generally west to east and can be 30-50 miles per hour in the plains region.
For current road conditions and construction, dial 511 in Montana, or 1-800-226-7623 out of state.
