Solana Beach becomes the latest city in San Diego County to add a diversion program for first-time offenders, joining Encinitas and Carlsbad
Solana Beach City Council members approved an ordinance last week that allows for more enforcement of e-bikes and bicycles on local roads, honing in on some of the unsafe behaviors local residents have noticed, and creates a diversion program that gives first-time offenders a chance to complete a safety course.. Encinitas council members added a diversion program, with enforcement aimed at schools during the morning and afternoon hours when children are arriving and departing.
E-bike and bicycle riders will be required to “observe all applicable laws including yielding to pedestrians,” according to the text of the ordinance. Riding on sidewalks is banned on any street that has a designated bicycle path. It’s also illegal for riders to have passengers sitting on handlebars or anywhere else on the bike that isn’t designed to carry another person.
E-bike safety has also been a growing priority for state lawmakers. The California Highway Patrol released an e-bike safety online course, per the direction of a bill by Assemblymember Tasha Boerner, D-Encinitas. Another bill proposed by Boerner would add licensing and age requirements for children to ride e-bikes.
