It's not only a question of motorists being aware. You have to look at the cause and type of accidents. A disproportionate amount occur with large vehicles like trucks and buses, probably because it is more difficult for those drivers to see cyclists. Also, many or most of the accidents involve turning vehicles.Add to that that some cyclists are reckless or ride so as to be invisible without headlights, reflectors, or reflective gear at night, or ride where motorists don't expect to see them like down the middle of the road on the double yellow line, and some motorists are careless. All this makes for disaster so it stands to reason that as the number of cyclists increase the number of fatalities will also increase unless we improve education and visibility. Transportation Alternatives would like you to believe that the answer is simply more protected lanes. It is not. |
