From Getting There by Michael Dresser
The Maryland Department of Transportation is becoming increasingly aware to bicycle riders’ issues and responsive to their concerns, according to a delegate who has been a champion of bike-related issues in recent years.
Del. Jon Cardin, a Baltimore County Democrat, told Bike Maryland’s annual Bicycle Symposium Tuesday, that he has seen positive policy moves coming out of the department and its agencies. Cradin said he has been informed that the Motor Vehicle Administration has decided to include six bike safety questions on the exam drivers must take to receive their licenses.
Cardin, himself a bike rider, also said the State Highway Administration has adopted a policy under which it will incorporate improvements for bicycles — bike lane additions, lane striping for bicycles or improved signage — in every road repaving project where its is not physically impossible.
We have calls in to the two agencies to see what they have to say.
