Cycle Safe Signs are usually put on the
back of a vehicle to show cyclists that they usually can’t keep watch of
cyclists because of their size. Traffic Engineering was the solutions that
people sought to find for the rate of cyclists accidents. Many countries such
as Ireland and Denmark have found that separate cycle tracks have been successful
in reducing cyclists’ accidents by 50%.
According to Wikipedia “Direct rear impacts with cyclists are a more prominent
collision type in arterial/rural road type situations. When they occur in such
circumstances they are also associated with significantly increased risk of
fatality. Data collected by the OECD indicates that rural locations account for
35% or more of cycling fatalities in Denmark, Finland, France, Great Britain,
Japan, the Netherlands, and Spain.”
Some equipment that a cyclist is usually
required to carry (at least in the U.S.) include: wearing a helmet, having
reflective lights, and audible signaling such as bells or horns.
