Traffic signs for cyclists
If you're a cyclist, or if you're thinking of biking more for Christmas in Nevada, there are many road signs to memorize and understand to stay safe on your trip.
- Raising your right hand indicates that you are going to turn right
- Raising your left hand indicates that you are going to turn left

Reflective vests and preventions
Nevada law states that all vehicles must follow the following traffic laws regarding lighting.
- Lights should be turned on 30-60 minutes after sunset and 30-60 minutes before sunrise.
- In any situation where the light is not favorable, where weather conditions do not allow seeing, or when it is impossible to see the car ahead at least 1000 feet away.
- When a traffic officer indicates it.
These laws apply to highways and streets, therefore, cars, trucks, motorcycles, and bicycles must respect and obey the laws to avoid fatal accidents.
