It's The Law: Massachusetts' new law, An Act to Reduce Traffic Fatalities, defines the term "Vulnerable Road User," requires 4' safe passing distance and safety devices for trucks, allows slower speed limits to be set, develops a tool to report crashes, and introduces a rear red light requirement on bikes. Massachusetts State Senator William Brownsberger explains how the law was passed. With Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition Executive Director Galen Mook, and Galen's WMBR Bike Talk co-host Scott Mullen.
