On A Bicycle
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-6,317 — near the right edge when slower than traffic, and the exceptions that let a rider move over
A cyclist riding slower than the normal speed of traffic rides as near to the right-hand curb or edge as practicable.
- Overtaking and passing another bicycle or vehicle.
- Preparing for a left turn.
- Avoiding objects, vehicles, pedestrians, animals or surface hazards.
- Riding in a lane too narrow for a bicycle and a vehicle side by side.
- Riding on the paved shoulder of a state highway.
Those are the times a cyclist may move away from the right edge. On a one-way road with two or more lanes and a limit of thirty-five miles per hour or less, a cyclist may ride near the left edge instead.
Local authorities may regulate bicycles further. A particular collision is a question for a licensed Nebraska attorney.
