    printer friendly version

    Question: If a person goes too fast on a bicycle, can they be pulled over?

    Answer: Arizona Law (A.R.S. §28-812) specifically addresses the question. It is titled Applicability of traffic laws to bicycle riders and says that a person riding a bike on a road or road shoulder is granted all of the rights and is subject to all of the duties applicable to driver of a vehicle.

    That means that if a person on a bicycle violates any law which pertains to cars and traffic on a public roadway, they could not only be pulled over, they could be cited (given a ticket) and be punished (be fined, have their driver's license suspended, or even be arrested) under the traffic laws, just like a driver of a car could be.
