Garff Commissioners are to encourage all road users to ‘Share the Space’. The campaign is in partnership with the ‘SafeCyclingIOM’
Central to the campaign will be a call for a new law specifying a minimum passing distance of 1.5m when passing a cyclist.
The sheading was the home of Kate Burge who was killed in 2014 whilst being overtaken from behind. It is also the Isle of Man base of Mark Cavendish and Peter Kennaugh.
The Commissioners believe that a minimum passing distance law would improve road safety and encourage more people to travel by bicycle.
Other strands in the campaign will focus on the safety of all road users, but the emphasis will be on pedestrians and cyclists.
Have a Great New Year!
