Drivers must stop for bicyclist in a crosswalk as they would for pedestrians. In addition, the new law allows a police officer to transport a drug or alcohol impaired bicyclist to a safe place or release them to a competent person. If the impaired bicyclist refuses help, the officer may impound the bicycle. You can receive a citation for riding without a helmet. Please use your head and protect it with a properly fitted, snug helmet.

Why children have more head injuries Their peripheral vision is only two-thirds that of adults. They have trouble judging speed and distance of oncoming vehicles. They have difficulty telling where sounds are coming from. They are easily distracted. They lack a sense of danger.
