Bicycle Accidents in New Mexico

Cycling is a practical and fun means of transportation. On the other hand, because of their increased vulnerability to road hazards, bikers have a larger risk of incurring major injuries. New Mexico has the second-highest number of bicycle fatalities countrywide despite the fact that millions of people ride bicycles each year. In New Mexico, over 1,700 bikers sought medical attention for wounds in 2014.

The right-of-way is always given to bikes wherever there are crosswalks. Drivers are obligated by law to stop or reduce their speed in order to make room for bicycle riders. Naturally, when a rider could be about to cross the street, cars should slow down or stop. Accidents involving bicycles frequently occur at junctions in New Mexico.
