Vaughan Safety Notes: Preventing Bicycle and Vehicle Accidents
- Drivers should always check carefully for cyclists before turning or changing lanes
- Cyclists should stay visible by using lights and reflective gear
- Leave extra space when passing bicycles on the road
- Avoid distracted driving or cycling, especially near intersections
- Watch carefully when opening vehicle doors near bike lanes
- Slow down in areas with heavy pedestrian and cyclist traffic
- Cyclists should wear properly fitted helmets at all times
Cyclists are extremely vulnerable in traffic collisions because they have very little physical protection against the force of a vehicle. Even crashes at moderate speeds can result in catastrophic injuries, including head trauma, spinal injuries, broken bones, and long-term rehabilitation needs.
Many bicycle accidents happen at intersections, during lane changes, or when drivers fail to properly see cyclists sharing the road. Victims are often left facing major medical expenses, lost income, emotional trauma, and long recovery periods after the crash.
