What’s the Three Foot Law?

In 2006, Oklahoma joined a growing number of states concerned with the rights and safety of bicyclists and enacted a three foot law.

Under Oklahoma law cyclists are to ride on the right-hand side of the roadway with the normal flow of traffic. When overtaking and passing a bicycle traveling in the same direction, a motorist is required to leave a distance of at least three feet. Violation of the three foot law is a misdemeanor. Be safe. Be courteous. Share the road.
