🚲 New to NYC? Watch out for the bike lanes.
One of the first things many visitors notice about New York is how many bike lanes there are—and some of them can be easy to miss when you’re focused on crossing the street.
Attorney Mario Sniarowski explains why pedestrians should always pay attention to bike signals and lane markings before stepping into a bike lane. Just like drivers and pedestrians, cyclists have the right of way when they have the signal.
A moment of distraction can lead to a serious collision. Whether you’re a lifelong New Yorker or visiting for the first time, staying alert can help keep everyone safe.
