Corpus Christi takes the safety of vulnerable road users seriously, as outlined in city ordinance §53-15. This law establishes clear guidelines for how motorists must interact with pedestrians, cyclists, and individuals with disabilities to ensure their safety. But when these protections are ignored, the consequences can be life-changing—and that’s where Herrman & Herrman Personal Injury Lawyers step in to fight for justice.
Understanding Your Rights as a Pedestrian or Cyclist
City ordinance §53-15 defines vulnerable road users and sets forth specific rules for motorists to follow:
- Safe Passing Distance: Vehicles must maintain at least 3 feet when passing pedestrians or cyclists, and trucks are required to leave a minimum of 6 feet.
- Bicycle Lane Usage: Cyclists are to use bike lanes when available and unobstructed.
- Sidewalk Guidelines: Pedestrians and individuals with disabilities should use adjacent sidewalks when accessible.
Violating these rules is a Class C misdemeanor. But unfortunately, not every motorist respects these protections, leading to devastating accidents.
