Every vehicle, when passing another
Nyehlcle facing or moving in the opposite
passing another vehicle moving in the same

nor at a greater rate OF speed on any pub
lie street or roadway outside OF said city
than fifteen miles per hour.
Every bicycle on a pubic highway shall
at all times be under the control or the

'lnasmuch as safety in passing with
rapidly moving vehicles requires tnat the

These proposed regulations are not as
full as those suggested by the L. A w.
people, but are very similar to them in
every way. 1t is believed that they VIII
be satisfactory TO the bicyclers.
