Mexico City Tackles Cycling and Motorcycle Risks and Safety
Mexico City's growing popularity of bicycles and motorcycles for commuting creates traffic chaos and safety concerns. Lack of education and respect for traffic laws among cyclists and motorcyclists is blamed for the rise in accidents.
The use of bicycles and motorcycles in Mexico City to travel to work, school or deliver food, for example, has increased recently and generates new problems for urban mobility, said the academic from the Institute of Engineering (II) from UNAM, José Antonio Olvera Andrade.
The Transportation Engineering specialist commented that consequently the number of accidents between cyclists and motor vehicles has increased, mainly due to the lack of greater road education.
