The attorneys at Kemeny, Ramp & Renaud, LLC releases a new article about the duty municipalities have to maintain public roadways in a safe condition for cyclists. In a recent decision, the New Jersey Appellate Division found that municipalities have a duty to maintain roads in a condition that is safe for cyclists and motorcyclists, not just for cars and trucks. The appellate court highlighted the increasing use of bicycles on public roads and the associated safety concerns, referencing guidelines issued by the New Jersey Department of Transportation since the 1990s for safe road conditions for both bicycles and motor vehicles. The court also pointed out that certain road conditions may be safe for cars and trucks but pose significant risks to two-wheeled vehicles like bicycles and motorcycles.
