Monday, 06 June 2011

Vulnerable Road User Ordinances typically specify 3' passing for cars and 6' for commercial vehicles, including buses.BikeTexas has been traveling around the state and working with different city and community leaders to implement safe passing ordinances. This year, 4 new cities enacted safe passing ordinances – El Paso, Denton, Ft. Worth, Beaumont – totaling 9 cities with such ordinances.

However, the fight’s not over! Every city in Texas must pass this ordinance to truly make bicyclists and pedestrians safe. Please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
