Rules and Safety
Bicyclists at the UW Bothell share the campus with pedestrians, buses, and cars. To stay safe, follow these basic rules of the road:
- Pedestrians always have the right of way.
- Always yield to slower moving traffic.
- Obey all traffic laws.
- Dismount and walk your bike in any Bike Walk Zone and/or crowded pedestrian areas.
- Minimize your impact by staying off lawns and landscaped areas.
- Park and lock your bike only at designated bike racks.
- Follow all City and State regulations, as well as UW-specific bike guidelines.
