Utah's laws for bicyclists:

• A bicycle is considered a vehicle and is subject to the same provision as the operators of other vehicles.

• Ride in the same direction as traffic is flowing.

• Ride as far to the right as practicable.

• Ride no more than two abreast, do so only if you would not impede traffic.

• Always signal your intent to turn right or left, change lanes or stop, at least three seconds before doing so.

• Always yield to pedestrians and give an audible signal when overtaking them.

• Cyclists are required to have a white headlight, red taillight or reflector that is visible for at least 500 feet.
