Many bicycle riders in Philadelphia will need to make sure and follow traffic laws. Philadelphia police have recently announced that, following the deaths of two pedestrians who were killed by bicycles last month,  law enforcement will begin to actively pursue and enforce bicycle laws more stringently. 

A police spokesperson stated that many bicycle riders on the road do not follow all traffic laws, and that they will run stop signs, red-lights, and commit a variety of other infractions.  Many of these infractions are committed because individuals believe that a bicycle can get away with it when compared to a car or other motor vehicle.  The police spokesperson stated that bicycle riders have to treat their bicycle like a car and follow all traffic laws.

A Levittown man was impaired by drugs, according to a judge, when he caused an accident that would lead to a Pennsylvania police officer losing his life. It was determined that marijuana and legally prescribed painkillers added to the accident occurring according to the recent ruling by the judge. The man struck the back of a car that the officer had pulled over,  pinning the officer between the other car and the man's car.  The officer would eventually die at a hospital from his injuries.

The accident occurred last January and has only recently been taken to trial.  The man who was responsible for the accident is facing numerous charges.
