NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Police Department has launched a two-week enforcement initiative to promote bicycle safety.
Operation Safe Cycle runs through Aug. 26.
The initiative will target violations that endanger pedestrians and bicyclists.
They include disobeying traffic signals and signs; riding against traffic; riding on the sidewalk; and failure to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.
Police also will target drivers who obstruct bicycle lanes, creating a hazard for riders.
