the Morgantown Police department.

others observed and reported violating bicyclist rights.
4. Handout rights and duties card along with citation to cyclists
who violate rules of the road.
5. Cite bicyclists who run stop signs, ride against traffic, make

emphasis on failure to stop for stop signs, failure to yield at
intersections and passing cyclists too closely and too fast.
7. Measure bicycle use, bicycle crashes, bicycle injuries, and
bicycle-related citations and publish the results quarterly and
yearly. Analyze data to identify opportunities for increasing bicycle
use and reducing crashes. Every year, 2 months before the beginning of

Council, Chief of Police, City Engineer and the Bicycle Board of
trends in bicycle use, bicycle crashes, bicycle injuries and,
bicycle-related citations and identify required changes to the Bicycle
Plan and related plans and operations.
