Promoting bicycle use: repression is the solution? (13/04/2016)

BMn understood to act against all elements of traffic that endanger coexistence.

To promote the use of bicycles in the driveway, beyond developing an enforcement policy, the City should implement active measures to ensure the safety of cyclists.

Murcia Bike bicycle as a vehicle considered as such place is the road and not the sidewalk.

Meant to punish cyclists running on the site for pedestrians putting their safety at risk.

Now I do not want this measure applies to all cruelty towards those who break the norm for lack of security and pedestrian areas sparsely pedestrian.

For example, it will fine the rider who circulate with your 6 years walking speed along the Paseo del Malecón?

Or unsafe cyclist flowing through the wide sidewalk Avda. May 1 because there is much volume of motor vehicles on this road and no bike lane for her?

Sanctions should be directed to the misconduct of every driver of vehicle, bike or car is from.

So, are punishable behaviors such as speeding bike on the sidewalk, running in pedestrian areas of high density ... but also those concerning the driver of motor vehicles not saving safety distance cyclist, use the horn to ask the cyclist that separate drive faster than 50 km / h.

No, a road violence.

A city ordinance on the matter is necessary.

As well as a change in modes of travel of citizens, from private car to public transport, and even better to active modes as bike and on foot.

The use of bicycles in the driveway is not encouraged by the creation of a special division of the local police intended unsafe fining cyclists.

Teach handled bike network and create even non-existent, bike lanes are the right measures, but are useless but the main problem is solved cyclist fearful: fear of car.

For this, the city of Murcia and the Department of Traffic must implement reduction measures motor traffic in the city.

Not worth your message there are no excuses for cycling, if there is an excuse and a reason: excessive car use.

We demand active measures to promote the safe use of the bicycle.
