Adrian, MI – As the clocks have ‘fallen back’ to standard time on Sunday, the Michigan Department of Transportation and the Michigan Fitness Foundation reminds motorists to watch out for people traveling on foot or otherwise each evening on the drive home.
Motorists should allow a minimum 3-foot distance when passing a bicyclist, according to state law.
Research from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute confirms that pedestrians are more at risk of serious injury from a motor vehicle crash in the weeks following a return to standard time. The most dangerous time is the first hour of darkness.
