The streets of Chile will from Sunday have a new traffic law that seeks to “harmonize” the relationship between the various means of transport, especially among drivers and cic lists, in an attempt to reduce accidents.
The so-called “law of coexistence road” aims to put an end to the “law of the strongest” that currently exists in the streets, said the Executive Secretary of the National Committee for traffic safety (Conaset), Luis Alberto Stuven.
This not only will affect drivers and cyclists, but also all those users “not motor vehicle of one or more wheels propelled exclusively by one or more persons located on it”, which include skates, scooters and the skates.
Therefore the articles coming to develop more in depth the current applicable standard, establishes, among other considerations, that motorists wishing to overtake a bicycle must keep a safe distance from at least one metre and a half of separation.
At the time that indicates that cyclists and other users of “cycles” are obliged to circulate by routes enabled whenever possible or, otherwise, on the right lane of the road.
“Once a law is published and begins to be effective, it is law. I have no powers to spend above the law or recommend half compliance. Laws must comply with them such which are established and some have a long processing process until it is published. What we do is widely inform people in a way that it can to comply with the law with the greatest of ease,”said the Minister of transport and telecommunications, Gloria Hutt.
“We are going to have on our website a version of the law with the modified highlights, so that you can easily access that.” To the enactment of the regulations, there is a term in the law of twelve months, we estimate to be one shorter period because we have already made progress in definitions. The regulations mainly refer to methodological specifications of design in some cases”, said.
