Develop U - Final Week!

August 28, 12:30-1:30pm, 5th Floor Suzzallo East Conf. Room - Rules of the Road
This session is advertised to the whole campus.
Most of us have been on one, if not both sides, of a conflict between a bicycle and motor vehicle. Much of the confusion and frustration surrounding these conflicts arises because one, if not both, parties are unaware or not observing basic traffic principles. Buck this trend by learning about:

• How traffic law specifically applies to bicycles
• Basic principles of traffic law pertaining to all vehicles on the road
• How following the rules of the road will increase your safety, efficiency, and enjoyment of riding

Presented by: David Amiton, Active Transportation Analyst
