Bike accident this morning - unfortunately (1) perished

[likkle red]

Caught,

Norman Manley Blvd is made up of two single lanes, running in opposite directions. The medians are in a no passing zone. A motor cycle (in this case) and a car should be riding in single file, there is more than enough room for that. In a single lane, in a non-passing area, a motorcycle and car should not be riding side by side in the first place.

If you are referring to a bicycle, the new sidewalk/bike path is being designed specifically for their use, to allow pedestrians and bicycle riders a separate area to move about.

The key words here are "should" be riding in a single lane. Too often I have been driving and have had bikes pass me on both sides as they wanted to go faster than the speed limit.
Until the bikers are ticketed for speeding, passing in a no passing zone and reckless driving it will continue to happen, which is so sad as too many of them end up dead or maimed for life.

...There just isn't enough room on the road for a bike, and a car, at the same time, but the cars will try anyway...

Interesting....
