Sherwood’s streets department has begun installing speed cushion extenders on Indian Bay Drive to enhance road safety. These devices aim to stop drivers from using bike lanes to avoid speed cushions, a practice endangering cyclists.
The initiative follows several complaints about unsafe driving behaviors in the area. The extenders will ensure that all vehicles adhere to speed limits without compromising bike lane safety.
Local police have announced increased patrols along Indian Bay Drive. Violators driving in bike lanes will face citations for unsafe driving.
According to recent statistics, in Arkansas, there were approximately 47 pedestrian fatalities on average per year between 2013 and 2017. This keep the chances of such an event happening lower.
