SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY Suffolk County is a dangerous place for road cyclists. It s ranked among the highest counties in the state in numbers cyclists hit by drivers, and a new law is meant to reduce these incidents. The law fines any drivers who violate three feet of buffer space around cyclists.
Known as three-feet laws, similar measures exist in 33 states, and Suffolk s new law is the first in New York. Fines for violating the buffer zone start at $225 and can reach up to $425 for repeat offenses.
