Safe Passage: New Rules Demand Clear Path for Cyclists, Pedestrians in Construction Zones

Author/Presenter: Neibauer, Michael
Abstract:

The D.C. Department of Transportation (DDOT) released proposal rules on Friday to guarantee safe accommodation for pedestrians and bicyclists through or around a work zone that is equal to the accommodation that was provided before the blockage of the sidewalk, bicycle lane, or other public bicycle path. The rules release follows the D.C. Council’s adoption of the Bicycle Safety Amendment Act of 2013, which took effect last December but could not be implemented until regulations were in place. DDOT expects to enact the proposed rules in 30 days.
