Cyclists may reap benefits from three bills proposed in the Vermont legislature this session. The bills address the vulnerability of cyclists on Vermont roads. If passed the bills would, among other things, create a 3 foot safety buffer around bikers potentially making roads much safer for cyclists and drivers alike. The non-profit organization - Vermont Bicycle and Pedestrian Coalition - that works to promote biking and walking in Vermont is actively gathering signatures on a petition in support of the law proposed in the three bills - H-577 Vulnerable Users; H-578 and S-275: 3-Foot Law.

Will a law make a difference? How about a driver compassion class which includes walking on sidewalks next to high speed vehicles passing on flooded roads, and relevant to this: cycling one mile on Rt 15 in Essex or Rt 2 in S. Burlington during rush hour.
