Cyclists have equal rights to roads, says association president
Article by June 9, 2021
The Barbados Cycling Union is working tirelessly to ensure that three tragic road deaths earlier this year will not be in vain, prompting swift and meaningful responses from the Ministry of Transport, Works and Water Resources.
On Tuesday morning, road safety advocates and ministry officials unveiled the first of many road signs alerting motorists to their duty to maintain a distance from cyclists of at least 1.5 metres when overtaking.
At the site of the first sign on Black Rock Main Road, St. Michael, transport minister Ian Gooding-Edghill declared that cyclists are among the most vulnerable of road users. He, however, called on operators of larger vehicles to assist in the creation of a more equitable environment.
