NCDOT’s Weekly Video Promotes Bicycle Safety!

TapingRiders

Wow, we are so excited that NCDOT in their NC Transportation Now weekly video promotes bicycle and pedestrian safety for May – Bike Month.  Thanks Deputy Secretary Mike Charbonneau!  We are so excited because they took footage from our volunteers working on additional safety videos to show:

  • bicyclists riding two-abreast (which makes bicyclist more visible and thus is safer much of the time and easier to pass when in group formation)
  • that all road users should share the road, avoid distractions, and that we all take a role in being safe
  • that vehicles must yield to pedestrians

Most importantly, NCDOT reiterates that Bicyclists May Use Full Lane (BMUFL).  So important for safety so we can:

  • be more visible
  • signal to motorists to change lane to pass (when lane is too narrow to same lane pass)
  • avoid debris along shoulder
  • turn left

Let’s all get out this month and promote bicycling and bicycling safety!
