Framingham Driving Guide

Sharing the Road with Bicyclists in Framingham

For new drivers around Framingham, Framingham State University, and MetroWest.

Bicyclists can be harder to see than cars, especially near parked vehicles, intersections, and shaded roads. New drivers should practice looking for smaller road users.

Why this matters locally

Framingham and MetroWest roads include commuters, recreational riders, and students. Expect bicyclists near campus areas, parks, and neighborhood streets.

What to practice

• Check mirrors and blind spots before turning or changing lanes.
• Leave safe space when passing.
• Watch for bicyclists near intersections and driveways.

Common beginner mistake

A common mistake is noticing only large vehicles. Train your eyes to search for bikes, scooters, and pedestrians too.

Maryaa's simple takeaway
