In September of 2007 new regulations were put into place that expanded safety requirements for bicycle riders. It is now required that if a bike rider is operating a bike in the dark or on a highway that they are required to use a lamp and specific reflective devices. Any failure to do so is a violation. Bike riders must now have reflectors on their bike pedals as well as on their shoes or ankles to allow drivers of cars to more easily see them.
