8. Traffic regulation
8.7.3. Traffic lights have the following meanings:
A signal in the form of an arrow, allowing a left turn, also allows a U-turn, if it is not prohibited by traffic signs.
The signal in the form of a green arrow (arrows) in the additional (additional) section (sections), turned on together with a green traffic light, informs the driver that he has an advantage in the direction (directions) indicated by the arrow (arrows) over vehicles moving from other directions;
f) a red signal, including a flashing one, or two red flashing signals prohibit movement.
A signal in the form of a green arrow (arrows) in the additional (additional) section (s) together with a yellow or red traffic light signal informs the driver that movement is allowed in the indicated direction, provided that vehicles moving from other directions are allowed to pass unhindered.
The green arrow on the plate, installed at the level of the red signal of a traffic light with a vertical arrangement of signals, allows movement in the indicated direction when the red traffic light is on from the rightmost lane (or the leftmost lane on one-way roads), subject to the provision of an advantage in traffic to its other participants moving from other directions to a traffic light signal allowing movement;

Only that biker does not need identification marks on his bike at night, who rides in his own private park surrounded by high bars, or on a desert island. In all other cases, if you plan to enter the roadway in the city or on a country path, you must be visible to road users. In the event that the bike is equipped with headlights, this is an active “optics”. For greater safety, it is recommended to equip the bike with a passive system that reflects oncoming light. How to do this will be discussed.
Reflectors for a bike are different. The most famous of them are reflectors, which were always attached to the spokes of Soviet bicycles, as well as front and rear reflectors.
Rules for choosing colors and attaching reflectors
On a bicycle, as well as on a car, you need to attach reflectors of certain colors. Of course, nowadays, thanks to the huge selection of LED designs, in a wide variety of colors and configurations, it has become possible that the bike is able not only to return a beam of light, but also to shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow.
However, the rules of the road should not be violated. According to these rules, there should be a white reflector in front.
It simulates the light of an oncoming headlight and is designed to give reflected light signals to the oncoming traffic lane. The shape of the front reflector is not regulated by the SDA, so everyone can experiment as they wish.
Rear reflectors must be red. The height of their mounting should be from 30 cm from the ground (when mounted on the rear), and higher - for mounting on the seatpost.
As you might guess, the shape of the rear reflector should also be arbitrary.
Attention important! The mount must be exactly in the center. In the event that you have remote bars, then you can take out the rear and front reflectors on the sides, and in front you can attach them even on the horns of the steering wheel, if you like. The main condition is that they must be located symmetrically from the cyclist. The wider the distance, the safer you are, as any driver of an oncoming vehicle will instinctively think you are wider than you really are. And until he sees you, he will be more ready to pick up to the right.
In the same case, if for some reason your front reflector is shifted away from the center, then the situation becomes very dangerous, resembling an oncoming car with “one eye”.
In the event that for some reason you must move in the dark without headlights, having one asymmetrically located reflective element, then place it as far to the left as possible so that the drivers of oncoming vehicles see the nearest dimension.
Before entering the oncoming lane, check that the reflectors, both front and rear, are located strictly perpendicular to the road and look straight ahead of the bike.
Side reflectors, by analogy with the parking lights, which are designed to imitate them, are made orange. They can be mounted on wheels, but some fans replace them with turning lights that are mounted on grips bushings. They can operate in both emergency symmetrical blinking mode, turning mode and constant burning mode.
Standard side reflectors are installed in a spacer on the spokes. There are no installation standards (quantity, distance from the hub or rim), but still, it is necessary that their installation on the bicycle wheels be symmetrical.
About reflective tape
The classic Soviet retroreflectors have been described above. The modern possibilities of light protection and indication of vehicles have improved significantly, and now you can safely experiment with such an element as a reflective tape.
Tape for contour marking is a regular strip of different widths on a self-adhesive or woven base.
The first is intended for sticking to hard surfaces, and the second is for sewing onto clothing items:
Of course, the use of such elements is not necessary for a bicycle, but it can give the bicycle not only visibility in the evening and night lighting, but also charm.
You just need to approach the design of the bike without violating the rules. So, you can’t stick white elements on the back of the bike so that the driver riding behind them can see them, or red ones on the front. It is also not recommended, in order to avoid confusion, to mix these colors into one, that is, to use a special tape to protect the territory where it is dangerous to be. This is the signal tape:
Wrapping a bicycle with warning tape is simply bad manners, except that it is forbidden.
signal clothing
If the reflectors do not cause admiring glances from passers-by, then you can complement the outfit with your own colors. Indeed - if the bike reflects a beam of light, why not create such equipment for the cyclist?
Such clothing has been created, it is a protective vest with a reflective coating. These fluorescent "poisonous" orange or green colors will not leave anyone indifferent - neither passers-by, nor drivers, nor fellow cyclists.
The vest is an inexpensive but very effective accessory that greatly increases your visibility and safety on the evening and night roads.
This vest consists of a contrasting fluorescent polyester, on which white reflective stripes are sewn. In the event that a biker has some sense of humor, then he can put on a cap with a vest, and then many drivers will even slow down without understanding what is happening. The main thing is that the vest should not be made as a fake uniform.
Spray comes to the rescue
In order to finally understand that bicycle reflectors are the century before last, a special reflective spray comes to the rescue, which can cover not only hard and flat surfaces, but also soft, as well as curved ones:
This bike spray has no color of its own and is almost invisible in daylight. And with a bright directional light in the dark, it glows very strongly. It is best seen on natural materials with a high degree of "fibrillation", on cotton, linen, wool.
In addition to biker clothes and shoes, you can cover anything with this spray - even grandmother's felt boots, or a baby carriage. It is harmless, so you can even spray a dog if it is inconspicuous. This miracle is called “Life Paint” spray, and its cost in online stores is about 1200 rubles per bottle. The effect lasts about 7 days in dry weather.
Thus, with the help of reflectors, tape, clothing strips, and, finally, just a gaseous spray, you can significantly not only stand out among the same cyclists in the evening stream, but also increase your safety.
Bicycle owners who prefer to ride at night are at serious risk of being hit by a car if the bike is not equipped with any identification beacons. The street lights are pretty weak on the bike. Reflectors on a bicycle allow you to save yourself from trouble.
Purpose
Reflectors on the bike must be presented in the kit. The rules of the road require the installation of a white front and red rear reflective means on the bike, as well as yellow beacons on the pedals and spokes of the bike.
Since two-wheeled vehicles are hardly noticeable on the road, a bicycle reflector can increase the level of safety while riding. Naturally, reflectors do not emit light on their own. Therefore, they become noticeable only when pointing car headlights.
How to remove reflectors from a bicycle? Such a need often arises when it is necessary to reduce the overall weight of the bike, as well as improve the balance of a two-wheeled vehicle during high-speed driving on the highway. In fact, with standard fasteners in the form of a bolt and nut, it is not difficult to cope with the task. However, some reflectors, especially reflectors that are located on wheels, are not so easy to remove. To do this, you have to remove the knitting needles or damage the fasteners of the products.
Reflectors on spokes
Many cyclists consider reflectors that are mounted on the spokes of a bike to be rather useless and even unnecessary accessories, since the latter worsen the wheel alignment. In theory, an extra weight of even a few grams can create some imbalance when driving. However, this significantly affects the quality of movement only at the development of maximum speeds.
On the spokes of the wheels several times increase the level of safety of the lover of night trips. In addition, they are an excellent decoration for a bicycle in the dark.
How to install reflectors on a bicycle? For this, special connectors are provided that are hooked onto the spoke of the bicycle.
Bicycle reflectors with LED
When it is rainy outside or the space is covered with fog, reflective means do a poor enough job with the tasks assigned to them. To avoid trouble, it is enough to install LED reflectors on a bicycle. Photos of such devices can be seen in this material.
Such luminous reflectors can be seen from a considerable distance in the worst weather. However, they require a connection to a power source to operate. Experienced cyclists prefer to ride with a flashlight powered by a dynamo attached to front wheel or from batteries. It is here that it is most advisable to attach reflectors with an LED.
Reflective fabric
An excellent alternative to standard reflectors are fabric bases with reflective ability. The latter adapt to a bike or a cyclist's equipment: clothes, a backpack, shoes, a protective helmet. Often such fabrics are glued to the rims of a two-wheeled vehicle.
parking lights
The purpose of such lighting is to ensure maximum visibility of the cyclist on the road in the dark. Many bike owners consider it mandatory to install a tail light that can operate in normal glow, flashing and frequent pulsation modes. The presence of such functionality allows you to make the bike the most noticeable, depending on the conditions in which the movement takes place.
When choosing such a bicycle flasher, attention should be focused on the power indicator, since a weak size is practically useless. As for the viewing angle, when glowing here, it should be about 180 o.
Finally
Cyclists who try to avoid night trips for personal safety can safely do without the installation of reflectors. Ideally, the bike should be equipped with a full range of reflective elements. Reflectors on the spokes of the wheels are no exception, because only thanks to them the bike becomes visible at intersections and when cornering.
