§ 12.60.060. Riding on right side of roadway—Passing vehicles.

Any person operating a bicycle upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing shall ride in the same direction as other vehicular traffic as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway except under any of the following situations:

A.

When overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction;

B.

When preparing for a left turn at an intersection or onto a private road or driveway;

C.

When reasonably necessary to avoid conditions, including but not limited to fixed or moving objects, parked or moving vehicles, pedestrians, animals, surface hazards, or substandard-width lanes that make it unsafe to continue along the right-hand curb or edge. For purposes of this section, a "substandard-width lane" means a lane too narrow for a bicycle and another vehicle to travel safely within the lane;

D.

When riding on a shoulder if such operation does not violate any section of this title for passing or direction of travel;

E.

When proceeding straight ahead on a multiple lane roadway with a "right turn only" lane; or

F.

When riding within a bicycle lane.
