The new law would create a class of person known as a “vulnerable road user,” defined as a pedestrian, a person operating or riding on a cycle, and someone cryptically described as a “prescribed person.”
There’s some big changes coming to B.C.’s motor vehicle act in the near future. Forty-one amendments and additions, by my count, are being proposed, under Bill 23, as the government tries to keep up with ever increasing number of tech devices hitting our roads coupled with growing demand for greener ways to move through our increasingly crowded provincial roadways.
The inclusion of the term “prescribed person” probably means regulators are having such trouble keeping pace with everything technology is putting on the road for people to zip around on, that they’re keeping their regulatory options as wide open as possible. It will also be a requirement to adopt a reasonable following distance behind a vulnerable road user depending on road weather and traffic conditions but a minimum following distance, in any circumstance, will be three metres.
Now, of course, the caveat is that you can only make these lane crossing manoeuvres when done safely and without affecting the travel of any other vehicle.
