Subject: | Legislation Requiring Pedalcycle Operators to Wear Reflective Clothing between Sunset and Sunrise |
In the near future, I intend to introduce legislation amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, which would require pedalcycle users to wear high-visibility safety apparel, which may include a vest, jacket, or shirt that is retroreflective between sunset and sunrise. Currently, Title 75 §3705 (a) requires pedalcycle operators to have a front lamp, red rear reflectors and amber reflectors on each side of their pedalcycle. My legislation would take this commonsense bicycle safety to the next step by requiring the operators to wear reflective clothing to augment their bicycle’s reflective equipment. Please join me in supporting this legislation. I am confident this legislation will help ensure the safety of bicyclists traveling in the Commonwealth. |
