SUMMARY: HB 291 PN 226 authorizes municipalities to create parking-protected bicycle lanes between
curbs and parked vehicles.
ANALYSIS: This legislation amends Title 75 (Vehicles) Section 3354 (Additional parking
requirements) to create Subsection b.1 (Protected pedestrian plazas and pedalcycle lanes ). Specifically:
Section 3354 (b.1) provides that, in cases where there is on-street pedestrian plaza or bicycle
lane, parked vehicles must be positioned in the direction of authorized traffic, depending on
whether they are next to the right or left-hand curb
The bill further articulates that the language within Section 3354 (b.1) shall not prevent a local
authority from enacting parking regulations
Legislation includes a penalty for violating Section 3354 (b.1) by making it a summary offense
and a fine of up to $15
FISCAL IMPACT: The enactment of this legislation would have a minimal fiscal impact on
commonwealth funds, specifically the Motor License Fund. The impact of the fines deposited into the
Motor License Fund would be a function of the number of violations which occur. At this time, that
number is indeterminate.
