  • Updated graphics and resource links.
  • Improved flow of information.

Individual manuals are available online and printed copies can be ordered from the ODOT Storeroom. Note: Printed manuals are shipped by minimum of 10 manual per package.

Throughout May, safety advocates across Oregon will be promoting the key safety message – Look out for each other  –  as part of celebrating National Bicycling Safety Month. If you want to help spread the word, check out ODOT’s supply of free brochures, fliers, posters and more. You can learn more about the new “Stop As Yield” law by watching a brief animated video and reviewing the brochure.
