In Legal Terms: Bicycle Laws

Mississippi has great weather and great topography for riding a bicycle. But whether YOU are on the bike or YOU are in the car, we all need to know the rules of the road and everyone’s rights. Attorney Baskin Jones is here to help us learn. Does this talk make you want to take a bike ride? Visit Mississippi dot org has an information page to help you plan a ride in various parts of the state over various terrains. In addition to Visit Mississippi, M-DOT has some advice for folks on bikes. M-DOT shares a 2019 report card for Mississippi from the League of American Bicyclist, where our state gets pretty bad grades. The good news is Go Gulfport has received a grant to help enhance cycling infrastructure and active transportation. You can read about the good, the bad, and the helpful from M-DOT’s website. Next Tuesday is an important day – no foolin’. Next Tuesday, April 1st is election day! Polls will be open 7am to 7pm for municipal primary elections. We’ll have the link for the My Election Day website so you can type in your address and see the sample Republican and Democratic ballot for you Hosted on Acast.
