Bicycle Helmets
With the nicer weather, I've
observed more children riding their bicycles (and battery
motorcycle) in the roadway with out helmets.
As a reminder to you (parents)
for the safety of your children, here is the current Puyallup
ordinance requiring helmets be worn:
10.62.030 Bicycle helmet
required.
(1) Any person bicycling
or riding as a bicycle passenger on or in tow of a bicycle upon any
public area in the city of Puyallup shall wear an approved bicycle
helmet designed for safety that meets or exceeds the standards
adopted in PMC 10.62.020(3), and shall have either the neck or chin
strap of the helmet fastened securely while the bicycle is in
motion.
(2) No person shall
transport another person on or in tow of a bicycle upon any public
area in the jurisdiction of the city of Puyallup, unless the
passenger is wearing a helmet that meets the requirements of this
chapter.
(3) A parent or
guardian is responsible for requiring that a child under the age of
18 years wears an approved bicycle helmet while bicycling or riding
as a passenger on a bicycle in any public area in the city of
Puyallup, and has the neck or chin strap of the helmet fastened
securely. (Ord. 2403 § 2, 1994).
I encourage all parents
to observe this ordinance. | ||||||||||
