Covered Bridges -- Vermont's many covered bridges can pose a special hazard to cyclists. Please use extreme caution when going through a covered bridge. Reduced light levels inside a covered bridge make it difficult for motorists to see you and for you to see gaps between wooden floorboards that can cause you to lose control of your bicycle. Always ride with extreme caution at a slow speed when riding through a covered bridge. Dismount and walk through, if necessary.
ROAD ADVISORIES
Extra caution should be taken on mountainous routes where roads are often narrow, and on certain heavily traveled highways. In addition, bicyclists should exercise extreme caution on all of the following highways:
- U.S. 7 -- between Manchester and Burlington
- U.S. 9 -- between Brattleboro and Bennington
- U.S. 4 -- between Rutland and White River Junction
- U.S. 2 -- between Montpelier and St. Johnsbury

- VT Rte. 78 -- between East Alburg and Swanton -- Cyclists
