Bicycle safety in St Augustine
Wanting to get street lights and sidewalks on dangerous side roads like Kings Estate, Hilltop and Old Moultrie, and stricter speed enforcement.
Why is this important?
It's about getting sidewalks and street lights on some of the side roads where there are none and need to be, as well as stricter speed enforcement. My other half and I have been affected by there not being any lights or sidewalks on some of the roads. I got hit by a driver on King's Estate in November; two days after my accident, a guy got killed on Hilltop Road. We ride our bikes and walk these roads to get to and from work and stores as well as other places.. Pedestrians are disregarded by drivers on those roads, and feel unsafe walking, let alone riding bikes on the roads out of fear of being hit.
