By their very nature, salmon head upstream. But going against the flow is a bad move for bicyclists. In fact, riding against traffic is not only against the law—it’s dangerous and you’re much more likely to be injured. Here’s why wrong-way riding is unsafe:

• Why it's Unsafe
  

  • Oncoming cars approach you at a much higher speed
  • Drivers can’t see you when entering or exiting driveways
  • Drivers won’t see you when turning left
  • Drivers can’t predict your behavior
  • You put other bicyclists at risk
  • You can be involved in a head-on collision
  • You can’t see traffic signals
  • You won’t be able to make right turns
• Numbers Don't Lie
