May is National Bicycle Safety Month
May is National Bicycle Safety Month and Pasadena Police Department encourages drivers and bicyclists to share the road safely not just for the month of May, but every month of the year. “Our second bicycle and pedestrian safety enforcement program will take place on Friday, May 3 1 said Traffic Section Lieutenant Mark Goodman. This is a continuation of the first program that took place on May 24.
“We want everyone to share the road safely. We all have a shared responsibility to look out for one another,” said Goodman.

Goodman said, “Most people do not give much thought to ‘jaywalking,’ but it can be very dangerous,”
