Under Oregon Law, bicyclists have the same rights and duties as a pedestrian on a sidewalk or crosswalk by law. This means drivers are required to yield to cyclists at crosswalks and places where the sidewalk and road intersect (ORS 811.025). When crossing a crosswalk, however, cyclists must enter and move through at a walking pace or less, or else they'd violate the unsafe operation of a bicycle on sidewalk statute(below). See the Sidewalks and Crosswalks section for more.
