New Bike Safety Laws

Do you care about bike safety laws? Have your voice heard.

The Vermont Bike/Ped Coalition about an upcoming meeting to discuss possible penalties for violating Vermont's new safe passage law.

This new law basically requires cars to stay a safe distance from bicyclists, pedestrians, horses, etc.. It also encourages cyclists to ride properly and safely. This law will help save lives and also boost Vermont's national standing as a bike-friendly state.

You can share your thoughts before the meeting by emailing me or Gabrielle.Lapointe@state.vt.us. If you want to attend the Oct. 29 meeting in White River Junction, or want to find out more about the meeting, including carpool info, email nancy@vtbikeped.org.
