The legislation also increases the penalties for stopping or parking in a bike lane.
A cyclist use the bike lane on the 1800 block of Spruce Street in Philadelphia in July as Philly Bike Action holds a vigil for Barbara Friedes and other cyclists killed. Friedes, a CHOP resident, was killed while biking on Spruce Street earlier in the week.
The legislation is support by the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, the most prominent cycling advocacy group in the city. Executive director Chris Gayle on Thursday urged Council to increase funding for infrastructure that physically separates cyclists from drivers. He said city policies can prevent traffic deaths, saying 130 people were killed on Philadelphia roads last year.
