With bicycling growing increasingly popular as a means of transportation – and more and more cities adding bike lanes to their roadways – the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is considering ways to improve the safety of bicyclists in the U.S.
To that end, the agency has conducted its first analysis of the subject in 47 years. The report on that analysis, “Bicyclist safety on US Roadways: Crash Risks and Countermeasures,” will be the focus of an NTSB board meeting next month.
