CYCLING SAFETY: UPDATE FROM LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS
On April 26th, NYCC met with Police Chief O’Shea in Piermont, NY; Police Chief Beckmann in Alpine, NJ; and Deputy Chief Cioffi in Englewood Cliffs, NJ to discuss cycling safety, particularly on Route 9W and Hudson Terrace. The discussions were very positive and productive. The local police departments are encouraged that NYCC and cyclists want to build lines of communication and work together to improve cyclist safety on Route 9W.
There is not any specific campaign to target cyclists but it is expected by law enforcement that all cyclist will respect and obey ALL TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES (i.e., stop signs and red lights), particularly on Route 9W.
Obeyance of all traffic control devices includes the light in Alpine, NJ, on Route 9W north and south at Exit 4 of the Palisades Parkway (northbound, at the light at the bottom of the little hill before the Stateline). Northbound, it is required to come to a full stop if there is a red light — there is a warning flashing light halfway down the hill. The Alpine Police chief suggests that cyclists can time the descent so as not to have to come to a full stop. The light is traffic-engineered to have a short “Red” on north/south 9W.
Bicycling in New Jersey is regulated under Title 39 of the Motor Vehicles and Traffic Regulation laws:

Piermont, NY: Local Ordinance for "Bicycling and Skating on Public Streets"
190-43 Bicycling and skating on public streets. [Added 10-21-1997by L.L. No. 5-1997]
Notwithstanding the provisions of Subdivision (b) of § 1234 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law of the State of New York, persons riding bicycles or skating or gliding on in-line skates upon any public street within the Village of Piermont shall not ride more than one abreast and shall ride, skate or glide near the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway or upon a usable right-hand shoulder in such a manner as to prevent undue interference with the flow of traffic except when preparing for a left-hand turn or when necessary to avoid conditions that would make it unsafe to continue along near the right-hand curb or edge. This section shall supersede any provision of the Vehicle and Traffic Law that is inconsistent herewith. All other provisions of such law shall remain in full force and effect.
Please direct all questions to the appropriate local police department.
A copy of the Nyack/Orangeburg, NY, ordinance will be posted soon on the NYCC website.
