Bicycle **accidents** occur more frequently on **conventional roads**, that is, those outside cities. This is because cyclists tend to have more accidents on these roads, especially during weekends and when the weather is favorable.

On conventional roads, bicycle accidents usually happen on **straight sections or intersections** due to collisions with other vehicles. The causes can be both errors by cyclists, such as distractions or not respecting traffic signals, and errors by drivers of other vehicles, such as driving at high speed or overtaking incorrectly.


To reduce these accidents, it is important that drivers of other vehicles maintain an adequate **safety distance** when overtaking cyclists and avoid dangerous maneuvers near them. Additionally, they must be especially careful in conditions of **low visibility** or bad weather.
