Twenty-three bicyclists died on Louisiana’s roadways in 2017 and another 693 were injured. What are the common causes of bike accidents in New Orleans?
Louisiana State Legislature classifies bicycles as vehicles. This means that bicyclists have all the rights and duties of motorists in the state. New Orleans bicycle laws do not prohibit bicyclists from riding on the sidewalks. Bicycles also have the right to travel on the roadways, as far to the right-hand side of the road as possible unless turning left or avoiding debris. It is up to motorists to respect the rights of bicyclists and to obey traffic laws. Failure to do so, causing a bicycle accident, is considered negligence.
