2 <br />Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). Discussions regarding bicycle safety have <br />increased over the past 6-7 months following incidents between motorists and bicyclists last <br />year. There has been interest in developing policies and procedures for enhancing bicycle <br />safety, reviewing State laws, promoting the development of safer bike lanes, and clearly <br />identifying agencies/departments for addressing the problems. Because counties in North <br />Carolina do not maintain roads, Orange County’s involvement in this issue must look more <br />towards policies, procedures and public education rather than enforcement. <br />Timeline of OUTBoard Prior Discussionsof Bicycle Safety <br />The OUTBoard has discussed the issue of bicycle safety a number of times over the past <br />several years: <br />x September 2011 – Bicycle Safety on OUTBoard agenda.
