Numerous safety laws already exist for motorists, pedestrians and bicycle riders in New York City, all designed to improve safety and reduce the chances of an accident and injury among those using the city’s streets and sidewalks. But accidents still occur all too often, especially where bicyclists are concerned, which is prompting city officials and the NYPD to pay closer attention to bike safety rules and ensure that they are being properly enforced and adhered to.
While many seek to blame bicyclists and their lack of following the rules as the main cause of many accidents, bicyclists point the finger at motorists who don’t properly share the road and observe respect for the bicyclists.
