HARRISBURG - A law that sets new rules for Pennsylvania motorists to follow when encountering a bicyclist takes effect on Monday morning. The law, designed to improve safety and traffic flow, was signed by Governor Tom Corbett on Feb. 2.
The new law requires motorists to leave a 4-foot "cushion of safety" when passing a bicyclist. To achieve this cushion, drivers may cross a roadway's center line when passing a bicycle on the left, but only when opposing traffic allows. Drivers attempting to turn left must also yield the right of way to bicycle riders traveling in the opposite direction.

Wouldn't it be cool if you received a card explaining how to interact with cyclists and pedestrians when you renew your registration?
