Countermeasure development was then undertaken in the areas of Training (see Volume I), Public Education (see Volume II) and Model Regulations (this Volume). Eight model state laws or municipal ordinances were developed and are reported herein. These are: Model Bicyclist Conspicuity Law, Model Law for Bicyclist Position on the Highway, Model Highway Entry Law, Model Minimum Age Law for Bicyclists, Model Driveway Parking Ordinance, Model Law to Remove Visual Obstructions, Model Regulation to Prohibit Riding Bicycles on Sidewalks, Model Bicycle Safety Patrol and Violation Disposition Ordinance. Recommendations for implementing and field testing the developed regulations are included. /Abstract from report summary page/129
