An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in rules of the road in general, further providing for additional parking regulations; and, in special vehicles and pedestrians, further providing for riding on roadways and pedalcycle paths.
SB 824 updates Pennsylvania's vehicle code to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. It requires vehicles parked near on-street pedestrian plazas or bike lanes to position wheels within 12 inches of the buffer zone between the lane and parking, with exceptions for school buses. The bill also mandates that cyclists use designated bike paths when marked by traffic signs, unless unsafe. Violations carry fines of $15 for general parking, $50-$200 for disability spot misuse, and $100-$300 for ignoring bike path requirements. Local governments can establish additional parking rules for these areas.
