Mt. Lebanon is a safe place but our streets can be very busy. We continue to work to educate pedestrians, drivers and cyclists on ways to coexist peacefully and safely on our avenues.
We all know that our streets are home to many cars, pedestrians and bicycles. One of the most important components of a safe town is safe streets. Mt. Lebanon has stepped up its effort to keep people safe on our roads by speaking to four audiences: Pedestrians, Automobile drivers, Cyclists and Everyone = PACE Yourselves, Lebo! Mt. Lebanon is a AAA Platinum Community Traffic Safety Award Winner.
Learn more about our efforts in this article from Mt. Lebanon Magazine and listen to Chief Haberman talk about the campaign in our Inside Lebo Podcast.
Special thanks to Allstate Insurance for their support of our traffic safety campaign.
The More You Know
Some of the main principals of our pedestrian safety campaign:
- Drivers should obey all laws, especially observing speed limits and heeding traffic signals and stop signs. Remember you must leave at least four feet clearance around a cyclist.
- Cyclists should also follow all traffic rules and wear helmets. If you’re going to drive your bike at night, you must have a light.
- Kids can ride bicycles in areas designated safe by their parents based on their kids’ ability to follow the rules and their best judgement on traffic.
- We love micromobility the business districts, but remember: all bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, roller skates and scooters are prohibited on sidewalks in business districts. Mobility items for those with disability are an exception. They can go everywhere. We recommend taking a parallel sidewalk route or walking your item through the few affected blocks.
- Remember: State law prohibits use of motorized scooters anywhere but on private property. This means they are not permitted on public sidewalks or roads, no matter the age. To use an e-bike, state law requires you to be at least 16, no matter how safety you ride. For details, read this Mt. Lebanon Magazine story on ways to safety use micromobility tools.
