quote:

Bicyclists in New Orleans will get new protections — and some additional responsibilities — under a package of ordinances passed unanimously Thursday by the City Council. The new rules, recommended by the city’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee, explicitly prohibit motorists from driving in designated bike lanes or harassing cyclists, clarify that pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks and require that bikes must be equipped with lights or reflectors plus bells or other devices that can provide an audible signal to those nearby in emergency situations.


quote:

They also require motorists to leave “a safe distance” when passing bicyclists and make it illegal to “harass, taunt or maliciously throw objects at or in the direction of any person riding a bicycle.”




This city used to be fun to live in.

Is that frowned upon?

This was legal before these ordinances?

I've never had anything thrown at me while riding my bike.

Someone did throw a half eaten Big Mac at me while I was running though

He does this all the time to appease his moronic supporters. Last year he introduced an ordinance prohibiting possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number, possession of a firearm in a school zone, and possession of a firearm by one convicted of domestic abuse, all of which is illegal under state (and federal in case of obliterated serial numbers) law.

I think he finds laws that are already on the books, then finds a problem to champion them for.

Can he really take it to the next level by saying he made it illegal to throw stuff at people? That's like Al Gore claiming he invented the internet

So we can throw stuff without malice?

ETA: Dammit, just saw it posted above. I'm keeping this one here because it is the GOAT fallback position.
