Bike Walk Mississippi The "3 feet" distance law is in effective all over Mississippi AND on the Natchez Trace! Check out this article in the Starkville Daily News!

More people are taking to the streets, on their bicycles, that is. Bicycling is a fun and healthy way to get around town and many Starkvillians are taking to the road on two wheels instead of four. A new state law has set a minimum space requirement for cars passing bicyclists on the road, making t...

        • Ron Blaylock as I drove past a cyclist this morning, I was wondering how many people know how far is 3 feet. Might be cool to do some kind of interactive game to see how well people judge distance.

        • Bike Walk Mississippi I've been telling people to imagine 3 feet as "at least" half the size of the front of their car. If motorists can at least give that much space or more we may be able to start communicating what is safe and what is not. And I LOVE the idea of an interactive game! thanks!
