Subject: | Protected Pedestrian Plazas and Pedalcycle Lanes |
Under current law, a vehicle shall park along a roadway within 12 inches of the curb. The Pennsylvania Vehicle Code does not provide an allowance for parking next to bike lanes. This legislation requires that vehicles parking along a curbside bike lane must park parallel with their right-hand or left-hand wheels within 12 inches of the outside line of the buffer area between the bike lane and parking in the direction of traffic flow. This bill is similar to Senate Bill 565 from last session offered by then-Senator Farnese. Please join me in supporting this legislation that is necessary to provide for protected bicycle lanes in the Commonwealth. |
