Bicycle Accidents in California
Bicyclists face unique risks on California roads, particularly at busy intersections like Ralston Avenue and Lakewood Circle in Redwood City. Collisions between cyclists and motor vehicles can result in serious injuries, even at lower speeds. Factors such as driver inattentiveness, failure to yield, and poor visibility often contribute to these incidents.
In this case, the crash involved two vehicles, one of which struck the cyclist, highlighting the dangers cyclists face when navigating shared roadways. Even when following traffic laws, cyclists remain vulnerable to accidents, especially at intersections where turning vehicles may not always yield properly.
To improve cyclist safety, California law requires drivers to give at least three feet of space when passing a bicycle. Cyclists are also encouraged to wear helmets, use bike lanes where available, and remain highly visible by wearing reflective gear and using proper lighting.
