Please share and help inform our friends / family regarding Rules of the Road in McAllen. Specifically, Sec. 102-212. - Vulnerable road users—Rules of the road.
(a) An operator of a motor vehicle passing a vulnerable road user operating on a highway or street shall: (1) If the highway has two or more marked lanes running in the same direction, vacate such lane; or (2) Pass the vulnerable road user at a safe distance. (b) For the purpose of subsection (a)(2), when road conditions allow, safe distance is at least: (1) Three feet if the operator's vehicle is a passenger car or light truck; or (2) Six feet if the operator's vehicle is a truck, other than a light truck, or a commercial motor vehicle. (c) An operator of a motor vehicle that is making a left turn at a roadway intersection, including an intersection with an alley or private road or driveway, shall yield the right-of-way to a vulnerable road user who is approaching from the opposite direction and is in the intersection, or is in such proximity to the intersection as to be an immediate hazard. (d) An operator of a motor vehicle may not overtake a vulnerable road user traveling in the same direction and subsequently make a turn in front of the vulnerable road user unless the operator is safely clear of the vulnerable road user and shall continue to remain safely clear throughout the course of turn, taking into account the speed at which the vulnerable road user is traveling and the braking requirements of the motor vehicle making the turn.

(f) An operator of a motor vehicle may not throw or project any object or substance at or against a vulnerable road user. (g) An operator of a motor vehicle shall exercise due care to avoid colliding with any vulnerable road user on a roadway or in an intersection of roadways. (h) Vulnerable road users must use hand signals to signal their intent to stop, turn left, or turn right. The vulnerable road user must use the following signals: (1) Stop - Extend the left hand and arm downward. (2) Left turn - Extend the left hand and arm horizontally. (3) Right turn - Extend the left hand and arm upward, or extend the right hand and arm horizontally.
Due to public health concerns during this Covid-19 Pandemic, we did not hold an event in 2020. We are closely monitoring the progress on the vaccines and virus variants as we don't want to put our participants, sponsors, organizers, and volunteers and all their families at risk and exacerbate this situation. We encourage all our Picos to wear their masks 😷 and do their part to help eradicate this horrible virus that has caused much pain and suffering to many. Be well and take care. We will keep you posted.
Thank you. Will start training. Best ride in the state!
This message is about 2-3 month too late ..🤣🤣
