Maryland Bike Safety Warning for Spring Time Bicycling
By injuheis on April 23, 2009
With the spring and summer seasons fast approaching, pedestrians will be trading in their bus passes and vehicles for bicycles. Bicycle riding is more prevalent than ever these days and can be quite dangerous when the riding laws are not obeyed.
The Maryland Department of Transportation would like to refresh the memory of Maryland bike enthusiasts on all safety precautions and rules when riding. Some of these safety rules and warnings are:
- Bicyclists are not permitted to ride on the sidewalks to ensure the safety of pedestrians
- All cyclists should take the upmost precautions when riding in the streets with automobiles to help prevent car accidents in Maryland
- Cyclists should remember to ride their bikes along with traffic and obey all street lights and signs
- Even though the Maryland bicycle laws state that all cyclists under the age of 16 must wear a helmet when riding, it is wise for cyclists of all ages to wear a helmet to prevent injuries in the event of an accident
