Drivers are required to use “due caution” whenever they encounter vulnerable people on the road, meaning:

  1. Drivers must move over a lane (if there’s one to move into) while following all current no-passing and no speeding laws.
  2. On a single-lane road, drivers must provide a distance of at least 4 feet to safely pass a vulnerable road user.
  3. If 4 feet is not possible, drivers must slow to 25 mph and be prepared to stop until they can pass safely without endangering those sharing the road.
