• Washington, USA

  3-Foot Passing (HB 1491/SB 5335): Thanks to earlier legislative efforts by the Bicycle Alliance, Washington state law (RCW 46.61.110) already requires cars to pass cyclists and pedestrians at a "safe distance." To assist in educating the public, we are seeking to define safe passing as a minimum of 3 feet. Both the Washington State Patrol and the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs support the bill as a driver education tool.
