PA Proposes Bill for Cyclists

There is a Bill in the House right now that proposes a motor vehicle pass a "pedalcycle" with at least four feet of distance, among some other things.

Here's the link to the bill.

While I'm all for this bill, there is going to little or no enforcement of it. It might help in a future injury case, but as a day-to-day rule of driving around, motorists aren't going to abide by it.

Why?

PA roads are (for the most part) extremely narrow, hilly, have poor sight lines, and ,in general, in disrepair. Having better road conditions, better road design, and up-keep, will go a lot further than this bill.

I hope it passes, but there are so many other things that could be done to make PA road safer for everyone.
