When you ride a bicycle on the Texas A&M University campus, you are a driver. You must follow state laws, give signals, obey stop signs and yield right of way-just as car drivers do. Laws and regulations are designed for the safety of cyclists.
All bicyclists must operate under Texas Motor Vehicle Laws while on public roadways, including stopping at stop signs, yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks, displaying proper illumination, and riding with the traffic flow on designated "One way" streets in designated bicycle lanes. University Police offers bicycle engraving services free of charge.
Authority
The Uniform Act of the Texas Traffic Laws (Article XXI) governs the operation of bicycles on public roadways or paths set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles.
The University Police Department is responsible for the regulation of moving vehicles and bicycles on University property.
Transportation Services is responsible for the regulation of vehicles and bicycles that are parked on University property.
After the close of the spring semester, all abandoned bicycles will be removed from all on-campus racks. Bicycles that appear to be abandoned will be impounded according to the University Regulations. In cases that result in the removal of the chain/lock, the owner will absorb the cost of replacement.
