State Highway Bicycle Ban Proposed

I’m just a little late on this news item because I’ve been traveling: Bicycle ban for shoulder-less highways proposed for SW St. Charles County.

Roger Kramer has complete coverage on his blog here and here.

Check out this press release for details on the proposed bill.

Could such a bill pass and be upheld? Would MoDOT have anything to say about it? Are other county officials across the state thinking about similar bills?

I think all of us need to keep a close eye on this situation.

    Why crack down on negligent, inattentive driving, when you can use it as an excuse to remove pesky bicyclists?
