The Virginia Farm Bureau is reminding cyclists, pedestrians and motorists of their obligations to keep roadways safe in advance of September’s observance of Bicyclist and Pedestrian Awareness Month. Under Virginia law, drivers are required to maintain a 3-foot distance from pedestrians and bicyclists. Cyclists should ride with traffic, and pedestrians should walk facing traffic. Drivers also are required to yield the right of way to pedestrians at any clearly marked crosswalks and at intersections where the legal maximum speed doesn’t exceed 35 mph.
