Boston looks to make city safer for bicycles

With a bike-sharing program soon to roll into Boston, police are preparing to stand sentinel at intersections across the city known to be flashpoints for unfortunate encounters between bicycles and cars. They will educate cyclists and motorists about bicycle safety - with much of that education coming in the form of traffic citations.

The ramped-up police surveillance is part of Mayor Thomas M. Menino’s new campaign to educate Bostonians on avoiding situations dangerous for bicyclists. http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011/07/14/boston_looks_to_make_city_safer_for_bicycles/?p1=Local_Links
