Abstract:

This Traffic Tech summarizes a study that selected Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Knoxville, Tennessee, to implement high-visibility enforcement (HVE) programs to increase compliance with laws requiring drivers to leave a minimum distance (3 feet and 5 feet) when passing a bicycles. The HVE programs showed that the average passing distance in both cities during baseline was already well in excess of the prevailing legal requirement, but violations were still high. By the end of the HVE programs, statistically significant increases in average passing distance and significant decreases in violations were achieved in both cities.
