Public News Network: New CT Law--Forceful Reminder of the Need to Yield

10/15/2014

 
This story was provided by the Public News Network, and distributed to radio and tv outlets throughout CT.

HARTFORD, Conn. – It's a new law that underscores the need for local drivers to yield the right of way to those sharing Connecticut roads on bikes, using wheelchairs and on foot. 

Careless drivers injure hundreds of people in the state each year, says Kelly Kennedy, executive director of Bike Walk Connecticut. 

She says she hopes the new Vulnerable User law will get the state up to speed with neighboring states about the need to yield to non-motorized people who are sharing the road.
