OCEAN CITY – A committee in Ocean City is moving forward with plans to submit a recommendation requiring lights on all bikes traveling the resort’s roads.
In a Coastal Resources Legislative Committee, or Green Team, meeting Wednesday, Gail Blazer, the town’s environmental engineer, relayed ongoing efforts to amend an ordinance that would mandate lights on all bikes traveling along all roadways in Ocean City.
Blazer said the town currently has an ordinance that requires lights on bikes traveling along highways, but does not include all roadways.
“It doesn’t say all streets, allies, roadways or even city roads,” she said.
The goal, Blazer explained, would be to change the ordinance to include all roadways in town.

DeleteMore laws? More ordinances? Lights are required on all bicycles by state law. Just enforce the law on the books, don't make redundant ones.
