NY State Pedestrian and Bicycle Laws:

"Sharing the road safely is especially important for bicyclists and pedestrians, who are more vulnerable than motorists. In order to do so, we all need to understand the laws that govern walking, bicycling, and driving; these laws are found in the New York State Vehicle & Traffic Law. Following these laws makes us safer and shows respect for other users of the road. Walking, bicycling, and driving in a safe and respectful way will also garner greater respect from others, increasing safety for everyone."
