Bill > S05717

This bill establishes a bicycle lane safety program in the city of New York to enforce certain restrictions on the use of protected bicycle lanes through the use of bicycle lane photo devices. The program would impose monetary liability on the owners of motor vehicles for violations, with fines not exceeding $50 per violation. The city is required to implement measures to protect the privacy of drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists whose identities may be captured by the devices. The bill also requires the city to submit periodic reports on the program's results, including the number of violations, fines collected, and impact on cyclist safety. The provisions of the bill would expire five years after the effective date.
