When it comes to cycling, it appears that chivalry is very much alive. That’s according to a new study commissioned by the Florida Department of Transportation that found drivers, on average, pass more closely to male cyclists than females.

The study, which was published in September, examined trends in the ways that motorists interact with cyclists while passing by using a video camera to track how much space motorists gave cyclists, and at what speed they passed.

The data also revealed that drivers were less likely to give the proper amount of space to bikers dressed in “bicycle-specific attire.” Does this means that wearing a helmet and reflective gear, the most important items in a cyclist’s wardrobe, actually makes riding a bike more dangerous?

It’s hard to imagine that protecting one’s skull has a negative effect on road safety, so don’t ditch the helmet. But it’s an interesting bit of psychology to find that drivers offer less space to those they feel are better prepared to be on the road. That statement assumes that drivers passed men more closely than women not because they wanted a closer look at male cyclists, but out of some protective instinct that was not activated by seeing a male cyclist in the road.

Obviously in a bike-car relationship, the car has the mass, speed advantage and thus the power (some might say responsibility) to protect vulnerable non-motorists. As the study put it “it is possible that motorists perceived less risk passing riders who were in [a] bicycle outfit.”

It’s reasonable to extend that logic to the differing treatment on the basis of gender.

This disturbing data is echoed in the negligence revealed by a study out of Seattle that examined city accident data from 2010. The study concluded that “Three-quarters of vehicle collisions with pedestrians and cyclists in 2009 and 2010 involved the actions of the driver as a contributing factor. In two-thirds of those cases (about half of the total) the problem was the most basic of driver derelictions: failure to yield the right of way to the pedestrian or cyclist.”

The implication in this instance is that drivers are simply not taking pedestrians and cyclists into account when making right hand turns.

In each case, we see drivers failing to acknowledge that as the wielder of 1,500 a piece of metal moving at high speed, caution is the most important attribute. Yielding a few seconds or a few feet to vulnerable cyclists and pedestrians is a meager price to pay in return for making the roads dramatically safer.

California’s cycling community is a boisterous and active group. But it took a blow last week when Governor Brown vetoed SB 910, a bicycle safety bill that would have required passing motorists to give cyclists three feet of space.

As we noted in an earlier post on SB 910’s progress, 19 other states, beginning with Wisconsin in 1973, have already adopted similar laws. What seems like a common sense step that could prevent accidents between cars and vulnerable street cyclists was complicated by a section of the bill requiring drivers to also slow to 15 miles per hour while passing.

In his veto message, Brown noted that “On streets with speed limits of 35 or 40mph, slowing to 15mph to pass a bicycle could cause rear end collisions. On other roads, a bicycle may travel at or new 15 mph creating a long line of cars behind the cyclist.”

Bike advocacy organizations and blogs were upset with the logic, but it encapsulates a general fear within the government and amongst people who do not spend much time on bikes: that protecting cyclists may cause greater harm than good. In the absence of widely acknowledged statistical information, change may appear to be the less appealing option.

Meanwhile, in a parallel story, Sonoma cyclists will have more space than ever on Fifth Street West, where the city is putting in bike lanes in an effort to ease road congestion and encourage a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation.

But what appears to be win for cyclist safety apparently comes at a public relations cost. Although the project started gaining momentum way back in 2007, today it faces the same fate as a West Spain Street project that was killed when area residents protested. Although Sonoma city council approved the plans 4-1, its residents are also asking the council to reconsider the plans.

That’s because the new bike lanes will trim 35 parking spaces from the street and cut the four-lane thoroughfare down to a two-lane street.

The Press Democrat quoted Karen Hall, who signed a petition against the construction as saying, ““I like bike lanes, but I don’t see this as the best use of our time or money.”

It’s a legitimate concern; the project is budgeted for about $170,000. If local citizens feel that money could be put to better use, they have every right to voice their displeasure. But is the outcry justified?

In both the SB 910 and Sonoma city examples, government intervention is either being proposed–or actually used in the case of Sonoma’s project–in order to make a community or the state itself more bike-friendly. In doing so, public bodies have the opportunity to make cyclists safer, and to encourage more people to bike. With more people cycling safely, the greater community benefits from the exercise and lack of carbon emissions.

That is, the legislation seems self-evident after the fact because it encourages the behavior it is designed to protect. It’s getting there that’s the hard part.

Even in areas where drivers know to expect bicyclists, unexpected dangers can rear up at any moment. This was the case for Nob Hill resident Laila Brenner, who was cycling home from work when a double-parked car forced her to change lanes. The adjustment caused her to contact an 8X-Bayshore Express bus traveling in the same direction. After falling to the ground, Brenner’s arm was crushed by the back wheel of the bus, which then continued its route without stopping.

The traumatic incident, which occurred by the intersection of Columbus Avenue and Broadway in North Beach, is under investigation; Muni official Paul Rose said that the footage taken at a nearby club is inconclusive.

Regardless of the cause of the accident—whether the illegally parked car or negligence on the part of the bus driver or cyclist—the event raises serious questions about the driver’s reaction. Rose did offer that an operator may not feel such a collision if it involved only the second half of an articulating bus.

Though police are still trying to determine whether Brenner, whose arm was so badly crushed that doctors had to wait days before addressing the multiple fractures, changed lanes illegally and why the bus operator failed to stop, the story is yet another ugly incident for the Muni system. Only last month, a woman was killed crossing the street in San Francisco’s Castro district.

Brenner’s attorney said that he plans to bring a civil case against the city. If earlier cases are any indication, the city could end up paying upwards of $6 million to settle the Brenner case.

The relationship between San Francisco’s cyclists and Muni operators continues to be an troubled one. Executive Director Leah Shahum of the San Francisco Bike Coalition said she is unsatisfied with how Muni has trained its operators to deal with the city’s growing number of cyclists. “We haven’t seen much improvement in the way of operators in a long time,” said Shahum.

The problem certainly isn’t going away. There is growing movement from legislative bodies to encourage more Bay Area workers to commute on their bikes. So far, it seems the only thing that the Muni system has done to account for the extra cyclists is devote large sums of money to accident victims. In the last five years, Muni has paid more than $91 million in injury claims and settlements.

It’s unclear exactly how much can Muni operator training compensate for the inherent vulnerability of city cyclists navigating automobile and pedestrian traffic. Bike lanes and bike-only areas remain the surest way to avoid these unfortunate incidents. But clearly, reserving massive amounts of money ($22 million this year) for injury settlements instead of investing in more effective operator training is a choice that is both costly and dangerous.

When construction crews lanes for cyclists and pedestrians limited to San Francisco's famous Golden Gate Bridge last month, representatives of the bridge 6,000 monthly cycling and 10,000 monthly walking safety concerns. Fortunately Bridge responds representatives, by creating new temporary lanes, and triggered despite disputes between pedestrians and cyclists, no one was hurt. And to the delight of the San Francisco cyclist, cycling this weekend are back in full force.

Of course this message is especially pedestrians not bright for all lovers of the Bay Street. During the bridge, Western bike trail opened importance will includes the Eastern sidewalk, pedestrians not in a position, the bridge for months. "Visitor probably a little bit confused East with the partial closure of the sidewalk, as they realize that they may be not quite over the range", said bridge spokeswoman Mary Currie.

This is the latest phase of the project 661 million seismic retrofit to ensure, that the Golden Gate Bridge can survive an 8.3 earthquake. The majority of the bridge is ten feet wide, but it is so slender as 5.5 meters, which explains why just a sidewalk can share cyclists and pedestrians while the other is updated.

The retrofit of the project planned completion is 2016, but is a good sign, the Western sidewalk a month early that they a little bit about the process, or at least not too far behind are. In the meantime continue the iconic enjoy San Francisco cyclist. When should next to stop, so that pedestrians once again Golden Bridge can be sure gate about the construction on the Eastern sidewalk.

In past we have California unbalanced bike laws, written, which all too often cyclists more than motorists, which after motorcycle accidents responsible. Last year reported bicycle times magazine also of fatal motorcycle accidents, police rather blame cyclists as drivers for the accidents. And with new data from the San Francisco Police Department indicates that on cyclists, especially in the market could be Street, the main artery of the city.

San Francisco disturbing increase in the number of pedestrian and bicycle accidents reduce, the SFPD has implemented a safety campaign traffic. This is a promising campaign, and I hope that it reaches to save the declared aims of cutting down on dangerous traffic conditions and life. But StreetsBlog reports that the view on the quotations of the SFPD has so far issued, it may be placing on the market of disproportionate blame cyclists for past collisions. While increased enforcement in market Street last week, for example, the SFPD issued 83 citations, especially for cyclists and no motorists.

Vehicle driver not cards have been dealt, "for the driver actually traffic rules out there were that of the officers at the time, on this day", said spokesman Albie Esparza SFPD. San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr offer not much more clarity. "It is only the vehicle code violations, in General." Actually, it said to the pedestrians, "he."If everyone is a bit mad at me, but it is more secure, then that's fine. "It is in fact, that her hand is thrown up on is called."

San Francisco experienced already 8 tragic accidents this year pedestrian and cyclists are every day in danger, because they are protected frame of the same metal and glass, to enjoy the vehicle driver. Reports from 2005 to 2009 there were more than 2,200 bike accidents in San Francisco alone, the Bay of the citizen bike accident Tracker. And a look on death traffic statistics California cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to dangerous streets in San Francisco.

So while those who use the streets, pedestrians and cyclists alike, must do more, make up the road to ensure safety, the city should not be unnecessary legal cyclists traffic injuries across the Board for pressure.

The road is at home relaxing. Get even closer and closer, each cluster of houses, every curve and every stop sign start to recognize, and thus can you think you what to do when you get home. Check the e-Mail, feed the dog, take a nap… But that's when drivers and cyclists are most at risk. As Seattle personal injury attorney not I can't stress how important it is consciously while on the road. According to progressive insurance be away only about 17% of the accidents more than twenty miles from home. The closer is at home, the closer she come to the hospital to be sent.

John Przychodzen rode his bike two hours each way to work every day. He was an avid cyclist and had ridden for hundreds of miles on roads and paths. On July 22, 2010 at 3:45 P.m. was Przychodzen in the shoulder Juanita drive close to 86th Avenue in Kirkland riding. He was also of the way of traffic and only a few minutes away from his home when he was through hit from behind a small pickup truck, cutting the corner and go into the shoulder was the curve. According to the Washington State Patrol troopers pronounced Przychodzen was dead at the scene.  The truck was made driven, continue to a utility pole by an 18-year-old.

After Przychodzen's Memorial, next week of his family will contribute to a study on security to the Juanita drive to the city. Our sympathies go to Przychodzen of members and hopes that this bike accident to be aware of serves as a reminder for drivers the environment, even when they are closer to home. It brings us great sadness to hear that Przychodzen had moved recently from Connecticut and thus Kirkland decided during its new. For many of us, the living in suburbs or crowded cities, we should never forget that we share the road innocent people.

An ongoing project of seismic retrofitting to California to make safer gate Golden Bridge during an earthquake has created one unexpected security dilemma for the up to 6,000 cyclists and 10,000 pedestrians, who daily cross the famous bridge. Construction crews have temporarily closed the bridge West sidewalk, which means that pedestrians and cyclists alike to take over East the sidewalk, that gets as low as 5.5 meters. While so far, there were no accidents, reports of the Marin independent journal, that share the sidewalk a clear security dilemma and sparked disputes between cyclists and pedestrians forced namespace have has created.

To ease this problem, representatives have installed bridge sign and set color to help determine which parts of the sidewalk should be reserved for cyclists, and that is to be kept for pedestrians. "Weekends are the times that it has become the most chaotic here," bridge spokeswoman Mary Currie said. "We wanted the weekends to help with, where it has become congested chaos."

Despite the clear security dilemma caused by the retrofit of bridge project the reaction of the bridge emphasizes user of the city unique capacity with the stamps and to adapt to change. "We appreciate this effort to bridge users shall allocate to these in the limited space to them help," said Kim Baenisch, executive Director of the Marin County Bicycle Coalition. "It makes sense, we saw the signs and thought ' are we on move '" bridge users Clark Kim said. "It makes much easier for the bikes to judge it."

Seismic retrofitting 661 million US dollar project was developed to ensure that the Golden Gate Bridge can survive an 8.3 earthquake. The bridge West sidewalk will be expected to open in October. But the dilemma of security not resolved, as the East sidewalk is closed, which means at this point, that pedestrians temporarily not in a position, the entire span of the San Francisco will be iconic bridge. The full project is expected to be completed in 2016 be, so until then cyclists be sure when you Golden Gate Bridge walk go about and make way for.

Steigender Benzinpreise und Gesundheitsfragen entscheiden mehr Menschen sich dafür, ein Fahrrad, ausführen oder zu Fuß zu fahren, um Geld zu sparen oder auszuüben. Obwohl dies eine positive Entwicklung ist, kann es ein Problem als Fußgänger, Radfahrer, und Fahrzeuge sind erforderlich, um die Straße in vielen Situationen zu teilen. Oft wird die Bedrohung durch einen Unfall Realität, ebenso wie es für 45 Jahre alten William j. Jones, ein Bewohner von Longview, Texas, die durch ein SUV getroffen wurde, bei dem Versuch, die Straße zu Fuß überqueren. Der Treiber des SUV fortgesetzt, ohne anhalten. Polizisten kam auf die Szene, Jones liegend unbewussten in der Straße zu finden. Er wurde zu einer medizinischen Einrichtung befördert sondern starb später an seinen Verletzungen. Schließlich nahm die Polizei, nach eine Beschreibung des Prüffahrzeugs von Zeugen, Anna Katharina Shore, die fahren mit einer angehaltenen Lizenz (von vorherigen DWI Bezahlung) und nicht beenden und Rendern von Beihilfen, ein Drittel-Grad-Verbrechen angeklagt wurde.

Vorteile und Gefahren des Gehens

Es gibt viele Vorteile zu einer Person, wenn ihre bevorzugte Verkehrsart ist Fuß, jedoch diese mit dem Bewusstsein der beteiligten Sicherheitsgefahren ausgeglichen werden müssen wenn auf Straßen mit Verkehr unterwegs. Die National Highway Traffic Safety Administration hat einen Bericht veröffentlicht, in 2008 Fußgängerzone Statistiken, und enthüllt, dass es gab 69.000 Fußgänger bei Verkehrsunfällen, verletzt, während 4,378 Fußgänger bei einem Verkehrsunfall ums Leben kamen. Im Durchschnitt ist ein Fußgänger alle 120 Minuten bei einem Unfall getötet und alle 8 Minuten bei einem Verkehrsunfall verletzt. Laut der NHTSA ist ein Fußgänger in den meisten Gefahr beim "in städtischen Gebieten (72 %), an Standorten (76 %), nicht-Kreuzung in normalen Witterungsbedingungen (89 %), und in der Nacht (70 %)." Diese Bedingungen entfielen 2008 die meisten der Fußgängerzonen Todesopfer entfallen. Diese Statistiken sind ernüchternd, aber eher als Abschreckung von Menschen aus zu Fuß aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen oder Vergnügen, sollten sie lediglich zur Vorsicht Förderung dienen. In der Tat, Fußgänger Todesfälle sind 16 % in den letzten zehn Jahren gefallen und weiterhin als Treiber gelöscht und Fußgänger Vorsicht walten lassen und Verkehr und Fußgänger Regeln folgen.

Sicherheitsvorschriften und Erinnerungen sind äußerst wichtig für die sichere Reise und zur Vermeidung von Unfällen.  Aus naheliegenden Gründen müssen Treiber immer liefern Vorfahrt für Fußgänger, die Straßen, überqueren sind unabhängig davon Wenn sie ein Zebrastreifen oder nicht verwenden. Jedoch, auch wenn Treiber erforderlich sind, um zu erhalten, Fußgänger sollten immer nutzen Zebrastreifen, wo sie stehen, unter Berücksichtigung der Tatsache, dass Zebrastreifen kein Ärgernis sind, aber Sie da, sind um sie sicher zu halten. Fußgänger sollten immer bewusst ihrer Umgebung bleiben und immer beobachten die um sie herum, aber sollte besonders darauf achten, beim Überschreiten einer Kreuzung, wie beim Treiber auf einem anderen Straße wenden sich oft Fehler zu erzielen auftritt. Ob eine Fußgängerampel verfügbar ist, sollte ein Fußgänger von Seite zu Seite mehrere Male sehen immer vor der Auswahl zu überqueren. Wenn der Fußgänger zu überqueren der Straße zwischen parkenden Autos ist, sollte er Schritt bis an den Rand der Fahrzeuge, schauen Sie sich um und nur cross bei der Bestimmung, dass die Art und Weise sicher ist und andere Fahrer ihn kennen vor Heraustreten aus hinter Geparkte Fahrzeuge. Es ist auch äußerst wichtig, reflektierende Kleidung zu tragen oder tragen eine Taschenlampe beim gehen oder laufen am Abend treibende Sichtbarkeit vom späten Nachmittag bis abends drastisch verringert. Außerdem sollte ein Fußgänger den Bürgersteig verwenden, immer wenn es eine zur Verfügung ist, und wenn es gibt keinen Weg, die Fußgänger gegen eingehenden Datenverkehr Fuß sollten. Auf diese Weise kann der Fußgänger werden besser bewusst, eingehende Fahrzeuge, was besonders wichtig ist, falls der Treiber ist nicht Rücksicht nehmen auf die Straße oder schlechten Sicht hat. Denken Sie daran, auch wenn ein Fahrer nicht zu ein Fußgänger weichen ist fehlerhaft, wenn ein Unfall, der Fußgänger ist ist in den meisten Gefahr natürlich, und müssen daher alle Vorsichtsmaßnahmen ergreifen.

Eine andere wichtige und oft übersehene demografischen auf der Straße sind Radfahrer. Laut BicycleUniverse.info sind es unterschiedlichen erheblich Berichte über die Anzahl der Radfahrer Todesfälle pro Jahr. Je nach deren Bericht lesen Sie, sind Sie zwischen 3,4 und 11,5 Mal häufiger als Radfahrer im Vergleich zu jemand reisen mit dem Auto in einem tödlichen Unfall verwickelt werden. So oder so ein gutes negativ für Radfahrer. Eine Umfrage von Vorfahrt New York City gibt an, dass über 90 % der Zeit, der Autofahrer Fehler war, als ein Radfahrer bei einem Unfall ums Leben kam. Diese Statistiken sind nicht gedacht, um Menschen aus der Radfahren zu erschrecken, sondern um sie bewusst machen, so dass alle mögliche Vorkehrungen getroffen werden werden, wenn auf der Straße. Die Bedeutung der entsprechenden Sicherheitsmaßnahmen während Radfahren kann nicht betont genug. Obwohl die meisten Menschen die Vorteile der trägt einen Helm und reflektierende Kleidung erkennen, sind diese nicht die einzigen Vorkehrungen, die getroffen werden sollten, wenn Sicherheit während des Fahrens in dem Wunsch.

Ordnungsgemäße Reflektoren und einem Scheinwerfer auf dem Rad sind sehr wichtig, und Installation eines Glocke oder die Vorrichtung für Schallzeichen auf dem Bike kann dazu beitragen, Treiber oder andere Radfahrer Benachrichtigen, wenn sie nicht über ein Radfahrer Nähe sein können. Viele Ressourcen sind verfügbar, wenn diejenigen selbst Aufklärung bezüglich Radfahren Sicherheit, einschließlich einer empfohlenen "Defensive Radfahren" Guide unter http://bicyclesafe.com/. Ein Tipp im Wert von erinnern ist, dass es in der Regel sicherer, als ob Ihr Fahrrad fahren im Auto. Während Reiten auf dem Bürgersteig sicher sein könnte, wird eine Kreuzung überqueren oder machen eine Umdrehung plötzlich ein Faktor für Fahrzeuge, die der Radfahrer Präsenz nicht bewusst gewesen sein kann. Es ist besser, einen Platz in einer Gasse zu besetzen, so dass alle Fahrzeuge der Radfahrer Präsenz, bewusst sind, selbst wenn dies bedeutet ein Autofahrer ärgerlich oder wird etwas peinlich. So weit wie möglich, vermeiden Sie übergeben ein Fahrzeug auf ihrer rechten Seite. Und wieder, Ausstattung eine Glocke oder Horn auf das Rad und benutze es präventiv können erheblich erhöhen die Sicherheit, da dies ein Fahrzeug warnen und vermeiden ein Unfalls, die andernfalls fatal gewesen sein könnte.

Wenn Sie oder jemand Sie wissen, in einen Selbstunfall beteiligt ist zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs, ist es wichtig, richtig dargestellt werden. Führen Sie vorsichtig Buch über alle Kosten, die Ihnen aufgrund eines Unfalls entstehen, und kontaktieren Sie einen erfahrenen Dallas Körperverletzung Anwalt. Denken Sie daran, dass Fußgänger und Radfahrer werden immer als Vorfahrt haben.
