or bike paths. Bicycle riders and skaters who violate the law
can receive traffic tickets. Parents can be held responsible for
violations by their minor children. Motorists must obey the
rules of the road with respect to bicyclists and skaters. Motor
vehicle drivers must yield the right of way to bicyclists and
