Question

Is it illegal to ride a bike on highways?

Answer 1

It depends on the highway or interstate. You can legally ride your bike on Interstate 10 in southern New Mexico (for an example).

Answer 2

It depends on the laws of your state. In California you can ride on certain sections of the Interstates. The on-ramps are clearly marked.

Answer 6

It is NOT permitted on Interstates. Some highways should be fine although i wouldn't recommend riding on some because of the dangers associated with it.

Answer 7

300$ fine

its not worth it

Answer 8

Most highways have signs on the on-ramps that tell you if you can or cannot ride your bike on the highway. I know a stretch of highway where I live that allows bikes only because there is no other way to get through. Non of my friends will ride it with me, I think they are pretty smart.

Answer 9

  You have the same rights as cars. You also have to follow the same rules and laws.
