Bicycle & Pedestrian Safety for Law Enforcement – THIS CLASS HAS BEEN CANCELED
September 15, 2020 @ 8:30 am - 3:30 pm
THIS CLASS HAS BEEN CANCELED
The League of Michigan Bicyclists will host training’s across Michigan designed to teach safe bicycling practices. Although portions of the training are geared towards law enforcement, all interested members of the community are invited to attend. The full training consists of two components: a morning classroom session focused on community bicycle safety, and a hands-on afternoon session designed to teach the proper execution of bicycle rodeos. In class, we’ll cover these topics:
- The latest statistics on bicycle/motorist crashes as well as information on how these crashes can be prevented.
- The Michigan Compiled Laws relating to motorist, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic on Michigan’s roadways and sidewalks.
- Best practices for community education and enforcement of these laws.
- Engineering remedies that, in addition to law enforcement and education, help to make the road safer for bicycle traffic to coexist with motorized traffic.
If you work in law enforcement or are otherwise interested in learning more about bicycle safety, please join us!
