Getting bikeways, crosswalks, or other Complete Streets elements into a Caltrans project can be challenging. Convincing Caltrans to alter a previously approved project to add bikeways is an even bigger lift, but local advocates in the East Bay did just that. We spoke with Robert Prinz, Bike East Bay’s advocacy director, and Drew Dara-Abrams, who […] The post Adding Bikeways to State Routes: Two Local Advocates Share Strategies for Change appeared first on CalBike.| CalBike

In 2023, CalBike supported AB 645, which created a pilot program for six cities to install cameras for automated speed enforcement. San Francisco is the first to have its cameras fully installed and up and running, and the program is yielding a trove of data.

Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath has introduced a bill (AB 73) to legalize the bicycle safety stop. Currently, you could get ticketed for rolling through a stop sign on your bike instead of coming to a complete stop. AB 73 would make it legal for bike riders over the age of 18 to treat stop signs as yields, proceeding without fully stopping if they have the right of way and it’s safe to ride through.| CalBike
