Common Questions

There are specific laws that relate to bicycle lanes or bicycle ways, and bicyclists are afforded some protection when there are bicycle lanes on the road. For example, no mopeds or motor bicycles with power units are allowed to operate in bikeways, and motor vehicles are not allowed to drive in bike lanes. Operators of motor vehicles are only allowed to be in the bike lane when entering or exiting a driveway, merging into the bike lane before making a turn, or while attempting to park.

In Wisconsin, a bicycle is defined as a vehicle, and therefore, accidents with bicycles involve the same rules of the road that apply to auto accidents, with a few exceptions.
