IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA
                              WESTERN DISTRICT

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,                   : No. 261 WAL 2023
                                                :
                     Respondent                 :
                                                : Petition for Allowance of Appeal
                                                : from the Order of the Superior Court
              v.                                :
                                                :

                     Petitioner                 :

                                        ORDER

PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 2nd day of April, 2024, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

      Section 3364(b)(2) of the Vehicle Code requires individuals operating
      pedalcycles to “use reasonable efforts so as not to impede the normal and
      reasonable movement of traffic.” Does a proper construction of the Vehicle
      Code inform the meaning of reasonable efforts and foreclose any
      interpretation that it includes leaving the roadway whenever faster moving
      traffic approaches or backs up, which would effectively prohibit operation of
      pedalcycles on most roadways and/or endanger those operating them
      throughout the Commonwealth?
