It is about time that the green transportaion vehicles (bicycles) were looked at by the same laws that govern the rest us on the road.
Well, I don't know about your area, but, here in BC (especially in the lower mainland- vancouver area), those of us that drive motorized transport (cars, trucks etc) can soon feel a bit better that there is a level playing field between all modes of transportaion on our streets.
During the month of June, 2009- our law enforcement agencies will be handing out warnings to the pedal types but as of July, non-compliance will cost them just like it does to the motorized types.
A recent local TV expose' was conducted and it was a good eye opener pertaining to the infractions that occur by bike riders.
-No approved head gear (it is law in BC)
- running stop signs so they do not loose momentum on their travels (image what it would
be like we cars all did that)
- riding through cross walks, cutting across lanes on a travelled road-
- to name but a few!!
Hopefully, this new CRACK down will lessen the number of bike riders that get hurt, cause motor vehicle accidents, hit pedestrians or worse- Get killed!!
I think (and just my thoughts from what I have observed) the group that will be hardest hit by this change will be the Bike Couriers in the downtown core of Vancouver. It should be interesting to see how they adjust.
Your thoughts?
