| 摘要： | Legal rules are designed to influence behavior and balance competing needs. This report focuses on an area of state regulation that has received minimal recent attention: the laws that govern the operation of bicylces on public streets and their interaction with motor vehicles. The study provides a comparative analysis of the national model Uniform Vehicle Code and the 50 state codes, with special emphasis on the Code of Virginia. The researcher conducted a state-by-state comparison of ten specific legal issues: (1) carriage of passengers (particularly, of children by parents); (2) riding two abreast; (3) lane position; (4) method of giving turn signals; (5) use of bicycle sidepaths; (6) parental responsibility for children's violations; (7) application of traffic laws on paved shoulders; (8) mandatory safety helmet usage; (9) motor vehicle use of bicycle lanes; and (10) reflector requirements. The issues were chosen in part because they have generated significant variance in legal rules throughout the nation. |
