Bicyclists are allowed to ride two abreast in a traffic lane when the lane is of substandard length. This means that if the lane is not wide enough to accommodate both bicyclists and motor vehicles safely side by side, bicyclists are permitted to ride two abreast to ensure their safety. Riding two abreast in such situations helps to increase visibility and prevents motorists from attempting unsafe passing maneuvers.
