Mopeds play a crucial role in reducing car usage for commuters and delivery workers in urban areas. However, existing laws led many moped riders to use bike lanes, particularly on bridges, creating safety concerns. New legislation will allow mopeds to use specific roadways on the Brooklyn and Queensboro bridges, aiming to improve safety for all users. The rule reflects an effort by New York City's Department of Transportation to adapt to current transportation needs while promoting safer travel options for both moped riders and cyclists.
New York City's transportation system should reflect how people move around today. This rule change expands safe and practical travel options for moped riders.
Mopeds are an essential tool for reducing car use by delivery workers and commuters; however, their slow speeds often lead them to unsafe bike lanes.
