New York S01665 amends vehicle and traffic law to regulate how vehicles must overtake bicycles or pedestrians outside of New York City.

New York S01665 amends Section 1122-a of the vehicle and traffic law to specify how vehicles must overtake bicycles or pedestrians outside of New York City. For cities with populations under one million and towns and villages, vehicles must pass bicycles or pedestrians on the left at a safe distance. This includes moving from a lane or shoulder to another lane if it complies with traffic laws. If moving lanes is not compliant, vehicles must pass at a distance of at least three feet. The changes take effect 180 days after the law is enacted.
