Road Worrier: NCDOT calls for new curbs on bicyclists

North Carolina streets and highways each year. Many crashes involve impatient drivers who are determined to avoid crossing the center line on the left – while they misjudge the space separating car from bicycle on the right. “The motorists pass too closely or swerve back too soon,” James Gallagher of the UNC Center for Highway Safety Research said Monday. Greenville Police Sgt. Mike Montanye said the proposed yellow-line exception for passing bicycles was, “hands down,” the most important recommendation on DOT’s bike-safety list. “If you can give the bicycle a greater distance when passing, I think it’s safer all around,” Montanye said. “Where the passing occurs, from what I’ve seen, is where the crash is going to occur.” The proposed legislation was among draft recommendations DOT released quietly last week, after a review requested by the legislature. Montanye and Gallagher served on a 12-member ad hoc committee that had spent the past five months studying bike safety issues, at DOT’s request.

Department officials led by Kevin Lacy, DOT’s chief traffic engineer, say cyclists should not be allowed to ride more than two abreast, should be required to get local permits for large informal group rides, and should be directed to stay in the right half of the travel lane. Many cyclists argue that it sometimes is safer for riders to “take the lane” – riding at the center or left of center – t... (News & Observer (blog))
