Making Alberta Roads Safer for Cyclists
The Alberta Cycling Coalition is a like-minded group of organizations and individuals seeking to Make Alberta Roads Safer for Cyclists and they need our support. They have 3 key recommendations to modify the Alberta Traffic Safety Act:
- Require safe passing distance of one metre, and 1.5m at speeds greater than 60km/h
- Allow two abreast riding, when not impeding reasonable flow of traffic
- Cyclists to ride as far to the right as is safe, versus as is practicable
Please click through to their website and follow their easy instructions. If you live in Okotoks or MD of Foothills, our MLA is RJ Sigurdson and MP is John Barlow.
This is important for all Alberta cyclists so please take the time to check it out.
