“Share The Road” Lesson Plan: Why?? Usually little or no training for cyclists, motorists, and
pedestrians on safe interactions on the roads Leads to bad behaviors, mistakes, fear, anger/road rage,
decreased safety

“Share The Road” Lesson PlanObjectives
• To encourage drivers to share the road with bicyclists and pedestrians
• To improve new drivers’ understanding of bicyclists’ actions and legal status on the road
• To reduce car/bicyclist fatalities and injuries through bicycle awareness training for new drivers

Test Question #1
What direction should a bicyclist ride on the roadway?
A. Against the traffic (facing traffic).B. With the trafficC. Depends on whether it’s a one-way or
two-way streetD. It doesn’t matter which direction a
bicyclist rides
Bicyclists riding with traffic are more visible to drivers, particularly at intersections – where most crashes occur
AND, it’s the law!

Test Question #2True or False: As car speed increases, injuries become
fatalities?

Test Question #3
When a driver approaches a bicyclist from behind, the driver should:
A. Gently tap the horn to alert the bicyclistB. Blast the horn for at least two secondsC. Race the engineD. Shout at the cyclistE. None of the above

Test Question #5
What is a minimum safe distance for a driver to pass a bicyclist going in the same direction?
