What is the best approach for negotiating the door zone when traveling near parked vehicles?

Pass as close as possible to doors to maintain momentum.

Anticipate doors opening, slow and position away from the door zone, and avoid riding along the door line.

When riding near parked vehicles, you have to treat the area next to each car as a potential danger zone. A door can swing open at any moment, pulling you into a collision path. The safest approach is to anticipate this and act early: slow down and move away from the door zone, staying clear of where a door could open. By creating space and not riding along the door line, you give yourself time to react and a margin to maneuver if a door does appear.

Hugging doors or riding right along the edge of the door line keeps you in the immediate hazard area, increasing the chance of a sudden crash. Ignoring the possibility of opening doors ignores a very real risk and can lead to a preventable incident. Slowing and choosing a safer line away from parked vehicles reduces risk while still allowing you to continue your ride safely.

Ride along the door line.

Ignore potential opening doors.
