MA law prohibits motorists from making abrupt right turns at intersections after passing a bicyclist.⬇️

🔸Drivers, always check your blind spots for people bicycling & #SlowDown at intersections.
🔹Bicyclists, watch for turning vehicles when approaching intersections.

Newton South families, check out how you can help improve safety and the environment for arrival and dismissal.

One of our challenges last year was traffic and  student safety

[NewtonSafeRoutes @SafeNewton]

On Tuesday, Aug 23 at @NewtonFreeLib join @SafeRoutes_MA instructors and @BikeNewton and Newton Safe Routes volunteers to learn about bike safety and helmet fit (K-4th - bring a helmet) and bike maintenance (5th-8th - bring a bike and helmet if you have them).

@MassDOTSafety These should come with a 20 mph Safety Zone on both sides - often they are installed in areas with higher speeds + the expectation that cars understand what to do at a PHB make these potentially dangerous for pedestrians.

[NewtonSafeRoutes @SafeNewton]

Helpful video here on how to use the PHB for pedestrians and drivers: https://t.co/NGcU7W5izv Most importantly, stay alert as you walk, roll, drive or bike around town, and drivers SLOW DOWN and watch for vulnerable road users. School starts Sept 9.
