New Bike Laws Effective July 1

7/1/2015

 
For Immediate Release
Picture
July 1, 2015 (Hartford, CT) -- Important changes to Connecticut's laws for cyclists take effect July 1, 2015.  The Bicycle Safety bill, Senate Bill 502 and now Public Act 15-41, was passed in May with broad bipartisan support.  The Governor signed the bill into law on June 1.

The new law eliminates the confusing--and often unsafe--rule requiring cyclists to ride as far to the right as practicable. 

Instead, the law now requires cyclists to ride as close to the right side of the road as is safe, as judged by the cyclist.  Bike Walk Connecticut specifically advocated for that language, which is modeled on a best practice from Colorado as identified by the League of American Bicyclists.

As of July 1, cyclists don't have to ride as close to the right side of the road when:
  1. Overtaking or passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction;
  2. Preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway;
  3. Reasonably necessary to avoid conditions, including, but not limited to, fixed or moving objects, parked or moving vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, animals, surface hazards or lanes that are too narrow for a bicycle and a motor vehicle to travel safely side by side within such lanes;
  4. Approaching an intersection where right turns are permitted and there is a dedicated right turn lane, in which case a bicyclist may ride on the left-hand side of such dedicated lane, even if the bicyclist does not intend to turn right;
  5. Riding on a roadway designated for one-way traffic, when the bicyclist may ride as near to the left-hand curb or edge of such roadway as judged safe by the bicyclist; or when
  6. Riding on parts of roadways separated for the exclusive use of bicycles, including, but not limited to, contra-flow bicycle lanes, left-handed cycle tracks or bicycle lanes on one-way streets and two-way cycle tracks or bicycle lanes.

The new law also allows two-way bicycle lanes, buffered bike lanes, and cycle tracks to be designed in Connecticut and allows drivers to cross the double yellow line to pass slower-moving cyclists and other road users when it's safe to do so.

Watch for more information from Bike Walk CT this summer about Sharing the Road.

The Answer is "Yes"

Can bikes and cars coexist?

Fatal accidents demonstrate need for increased awareness, separate lanes
By Susan Tuz, Sun. June 28, 2015


   The negligent homicide charge filed last week against a New Milford man in the 2014 death of a bicyclist highlighted the growing potential for collisions between motor vehicles and increasingly numerous two-wheelers.

   Although bicycle commuting in Greater Danbury is still uncommon, recreational use is on the rise, and a 2014 state law requires that the needs of cyclists — including, for example, the provision of designated bike lanes — be 
taken into account in planning for new transportation projects.

   Advocates for motorists and cyclists agree that both groups must better learn the rules of the road in order to avoid accidents like the one that killed Dwight Hipp, 57, while he was riding one morning last August on Route 109

   — the fourth such fatality in the region since 2010. John Kimberley, 23, is scheduled to appear in court Monday in Bantam to face charges that could put him in jail up to six months.

   From 2008 to 2012, 11 other cyclists were left incapacitated 
after collisions with motor vehicles, according to a study for the Housatonic Valley Council of Elected Officials.

   Kelly Kennedy, executive director of Bike Walk CT, said the state 
“is approaching a tipping point.”

   “A Share the Road campaign is something Connecticut needs to work on,” Kennedy said. “Courtesy and awareness on the roadway 
goes both ways. Cyclists need to be predictable, and drivers have to be aware of cyclists.”

   While both groups need to be aware of each other, the state recognizes that a person on a bicycle is at a definite disadvantage in a standoff with a car or truck. A recent Vulnerable Road User law prohibits motorists from impeding cyclists when making a right turn, gives cyclists the right of way in intersections and requires drivers to maintain three feet of clearance when passing a bike.

   “Drivers have to get used to cyclists being on the roads,” said Tom O’Brien, president of the New Milford River Trails Association. “We all need to drive slower when in a car or truck and use more caution when there are pedestrians or cyclists on the road.”

   But cyclists, too, have their responsibilities. In Connecticut, the same traffic laws that apply to motorists apply to cyclists: Stop signs and traffic lights must be obeyed, hand signals must be used to indicate stops and turns, and cyclists generally must ride as close as possible to the right side of the roadway [*but see important note below], traveling in the same direction as motorists.

Read the full story here


* Bike Walk CT Note:  The 2015 Bike Safety Bill (Public Act 2015-41, effective July 1, 2015) makes important changes to the old rule to ride "as far to the right as is practicable."  

The new rule, effective July 1, 2015, is that "Any person operating a bicycle upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic shall ride as close to the right side of the roadway as is safe, as judged by the bicyclist."  

Under the new law, there are six situations when bicyclists do not have to ride to the right of the road:

(1) When overtaking or passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction;

(2) When preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway;

(3) When reasonably necessary to avoid conditions, including, but not limited to, fixed or moving objects, parked or moving vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, animals, surface hazards or lanes that are too narrow for a bicycle and a motor vehicle to travel safely side by side within such lanes;

(4) When approaching an intersection where right turns are permitted and there is a dedicated right turn lane, in which case a bicyclist may ride on the left-hand side of such dedicated lane, even if the bicyclist does not intend to turn right;

(5) When riding on a roadway designated for one-way traffic, when the bicyclist may ride as near to the left-hand curb or edge of such roadway as judged safe by the bicyclist; or

(6) When riding on parts of roadways set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles, including, but not limited to, counter-flow bicycle lanes, left-handed cycle tracks on one-way streets and two-way cycle tracks.

Urgent! Tell Your Legislators You Want Bike Ped Funding

5/29/2015

 
There are 6 days left in the legislative session, budget negotiations are in full swing, and funding for bike ped initiatives is still undecided.  

Take Action!  Please tell your legislators you want funding for a first-rate bike and pedestrian transportation system! 

If we really want Connecticut to be a great place to bike and walk, we need to send that message loud and clear to our legislators.  We did a great job getting 153 people to submit remarks supporting the Governor's transportation funding proposal, HB 6840,  to the Finance Committee back in April.  Now we need to repeat that message to all of our legislators. 

Background:  The Governor's proposal includes $101 million for bike ped funding authorizations for 2016 through 2020, which is the "five year ramp up" phase of the 30 year plan.  HB 6840 includes a variety of bonding requests that will allow the state to fund improvements to our active transportation system, including bike lanes, greenways, multiuse paths, and pedestrian networks, along with improvements to bridges, transit, rail and roads.

Take Action!  Please tell your legislators you want funding for a first-rate bike and pedestrian transportation system! 
  1. Find out who your legislators are and how to email them here:  Find Your STATE Legislators (not your US Senator or Congressperson)
  2. State your support for bike ped funding in the subject line.
  3. Please cc bikewalkct@bikewalkct.org so we know how many people are responding. 
  4. Include your name and town in your message.
  5. SAMPLE MESSAGE-- Feel free to tailor these points below to make your message your own.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
Subject:  Please support funding for a first-rate bike and pedestrian transportation system!

As a member of Bike Walk Connecticut, I urge you to support funding proposals for a first-rate bike and pedestrian transportation system that includes a network of bike lanes, greenways, multiuse paths, and pedestrian infrastructure. 
  • Biking and walking are cost-effective ways to reduce traffic congestion, and they're good for the environment, our health, and our economy. 
     
  • Bike lanes, sidewalks and greenways cost a fraction of what it costs to build and maintain roads.  People want to bike and walk more, but many don't feel safe without bike lanes, greenways and sidewalks. Build them and people will use them.
     
  • Since transportation is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gases in Connecticut, consider that biking and walking couldn't be greener ways to get around. Active transportation must be a key piece of our climate action plan. 
  • Connecticut's car-dependent lifestyle is not the lifestyle that millennials or the creative class have in mind.  A well-designed active transportation network will help bring millennials and the creative class to Connecticut and keep them here, strengthening our economy.  Additionally, walkable, bikeable places would boost tourism immeasurably, with benefits spreading throughout our economy.
For so many reasons, it's time for Connecticut to become a great place to bike and walk.  Please support funding for a .first-rate bike and pedestrian transportation system.

Thank you.  

Legislature Passes “Bike Bill” SB 502

Legislature Passes “Bike Bill” SB 502
Major Step Forward for Active Transportation and Cyclists in Connecticut

Picture
May 21, 2015 (Hartford, CT) – By a vote of 139 to 6, Connecticut’s House of Representatives last night approved Senate Bill 502, An Act Concerning Bicycle Safety, setting the stage for making Connecticut dramatically more bike-friendly.  The State Senate approved the bill unanimously on May 7.  The next step is for Governor Malloy to sign the bill into law.

Bike Walk Connecticut commends the bipartisan leadership that led to passage of SB 502.  The bill’s legislative champions include State Senator Beth Bye (West Hartford) and State Representatives Roland Lemar (New Haven) and Cristin McCarthy Vahey (Fairfield), along with 29 other legislators. 

Senate Bill 502 remedies Connecticut’s outdated laws that conflict with best practices for modern, safe bikeway design and active transportation.  The bill lets state and municipal transportation professionals design the kinds of bikeways, including two-way bike lanes, buffered bike lanes and cycle tracks, that are used in the most dynamic, prosperous cities in the country and the world.

The bill also improves state laws on bicyclists riding “as far right as practicable” and passing slower moving cyclists and other road users.  Current laws are outdated and ambiguous, leading to misunderstandings and highly variable enforcement.  The bill includes model language recommended by the League of American Bicyclists and the Uniform Vehicle Code.

Bike lanes and greenways aren’t just good for our health.  Since transportation is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gases in Connecticut, active transportation—biking and walking—must be a key piece of our climate action plan.  Bikeways are also an extremely cost-efficient way to manage traffic congestion.  Bike lanes, sidewalks and greenways cost a fraction of what it costs to build and maintain roads.  People tend to bike and walk more when they have the bike lanes, greenways and sidewalks.

“Being bike-friendly isn’t just a ‘nice to have’ thing anymore,” observes Kelly Kennedy, Executive Director of Bike Walk Connecticut.  “Being bike-friendly is now essential to competitiveness.  In fact, not being bike-friendly is a competitive disadvantage. Connecticut's car-dependent lifestyle is not the lifestyle that millennials or the creative class have in mind.  A well-designed active transportation network will help bring millennials and the creative class to Connecticut and keep them here, strengthening our economy.”

House to Vote on Bike Bill Today?

5/19/2015

 
There's a rumor that the House of Representatives will call the Bike Bill, Senate Bill 502, for a vote today. The House gavels in at 11:30.   Wouldn't that be nice-- a Bike Bill passed during Bike Month! 

It wouldn't hurt to ask your State Representative (not your State Senator) to vote yes on SB 502 with a short statement about why it's important to you. Look up your State Representative here: Find Your Legislators .

Here's what we sent to members of the House:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Representative:  

As the Executive Director of Bike Walk Connecticut, I urge you to please vote YES on The Bike Bill, SB 502.  This bill has broad bipartisan support and was approved unanimously in the Senate on May 7. 

In brief, SB 502 remedies outdated laws as follows:
  • Our current laws are outdated and conflict with best practices and principles of modern, safe bikeway design. SB 502 includes enabling provisions that will let DOT and towns use the modern, best practices for safe, efficient bikeway design that are found in the most dynamic, prosperous cities in the country and the world. 
  • Our current laws regarding bicyclists riding “as far right as practicable” and passing slower moving cyclists (and other road users) are outdated and ambiguous, leading to misunderstandings and highly variable enforcement.  Proposed language in SB 502 includes model language recommended by the League of American Bicyclists and the Uniform Vehicle Code.
Bikeways are a highly cost-efficient means of moving traffic.  Being bike-friendly has now become essential to competitiveness.  In fact, not being bike-friendly is a competitive disadvantage.  Please vote Yes on SB 502 to let Connecticut move forward on active transportation and a first-rate network of bikeways. 

Thank you!

Rep. McCarthey Vahey Rides 40 mi to Hartford to Support Bill on Bike Safety

5/19/2015

 
Representative Cristin McCarthy Vahey (D-Fairfield) joined fellow bike and pedestrian advocates on a 40-mile trip from New Haven to Hartford in support of Senate Bill #502 concerning bicycling safety and transportation options in Connecticut.

“The opportunity to ride through many of our CT communities and talk with advocates from multiple communities reinforced the importance of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure to keeping young people in Connecticut, protecting our environment and creating the opportunity for economic development” Rep. McCarthy Vahey said.

The 40-mile ride began in New Haven and followed both the Farmington Valley trail and the multi-use trail immediately adjacent to the CT FastTrack. Upon arrival in Hartford, advocates met with legislators to advocate for passage of SB 502.

Senate Bill #502 encourages the creation of bikeways and bike lanes, seeks to allow bicyclists to determine how far to the right they can safely ride, and clarifies how motor vehicles are allowed to pass cyclists.

“This bill allows for greater flexibility in the creation of bicycling infrastructure and improves safety for today’s cyclists, commuters, recreational riders, children and the elderly,” Rep. McCarthy Vahey added. “This measure will contribute to increased safety and positive economic development that also promotes healthy practices.”

Cristin McCarthy Vahey represents Fairfield’s 133rd Assembly District. She serves on the Appropriations, Education and Transportations Committees.

Action Alert from LAB: Save Biking and Walking Funding for our Communities

3/28/2015

 
Picture












Congress is preparing to take action on a new federal transportation bill.  Given the shortfall of federal transportation dollars, some members of Congress are already questioning why the federal government provides any funding for bicycling and walking. 


Let's make sure Congress doesn't cut funding to help local communities build sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes, trails and more. Please ask our US Senators Blumenthal and Murphy to Co-Sponsor S. 705, The Transportation Alternatives Program Improvement Act.

Background:  
The Transportation Alternatives Program provides hundreds of millions of dollars each year to local communities to invest in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. It's the only federal program specifically focused on local transportation priorities. S. 705, the Transportation Alternatives Program Improvement Act, written by Sens. Thad Cochran (R-MS) and Ben Cardin (D-MD), makes changes to the program to  make it more effective and easier for local governments to use.
 
For decades, our federal transportation system has focused the bulk of its resources on building roads, leaving many of our communities with few transportation options and rising safety risks for people bicycling and walking. More and more Americans want options for bicycling, walking and transit to live healthier and safer lives. More and more cities and towns are clamoring for more facilities for biking and walking to make their communities more attractive to residents and to improve their economies. S. 705 would help make sure that Congress continues to invest a small share of federal transportation dollars in these types of projects. 


And really, what could be greener, zero-emission forms of transportation than biking and walking?  

Ask our Senators to cosponsor S. 705, the Transportation Alternatives Program Improvement Act, to ensure that our federal transportation system continues to provide funding for bicycling and walking.  Take Action Here.


"The Bike Bill" Emerges

3/15/2015

 
Picture
We have a bill!  LCO, the Legislative Commissioners Office, has released language for Transportation Committee Bill SB 502, An Act Concerning Bicycle Safety, also being referred to as "The Bike Bill."  

As Far to the Right as Practicable (AFRAP) Provisions
Section 3 of SB 502 contains much of the language that Bike Walk CT proposed to amend the statute on "riding as far to the right as practicable." Section 3:
  • clarifies that cyclists may "take the lane;" 
  • eliminates use of the word "practicable," using "as judged safe by the cyclist" instead;
  • specifically permits modern bike lanes and cycle tracks, like those defined in the NACTO guidelines.
Bike Walk CT drafted its proposed language in close consultation with the LAB, incorporating language from the Uniform Vehicle Code and from Colorado and Washington, which the LAB identifies as model statutes.

Safe Passing, NACTO Guidelines
SB 502 is also intended to clarify rules on when motorists may safely pass slower moving cyclists, and to encourage DOT to endorse NACTO design guidelines for bikeways and complete streets. 

...  And speaking of NACTO
Bike Walk CT is sponsoring the NACTO Bikeway Design Guide Workshop for engineering and planning professionals on Thursday, April 23.  Urge your town to send their staff for this fantastic training opportunity!  (Details here.) NACTO is the National Association of City Transportation Officials.
