Bike Safety
Cyclists are not as visible as other motor vehicles, so as a driver, remember that you have an obligation to see everything that is there to be seen. Sharing the road with other users may be frustrating at times, however, keep in mind that unlike other motorists, cyclists lack the protection of steel, airbags or other safety features. Even small collisions can have catastrophic results. So, use extra care around them. And if you feel the need to honk, a quick beep is loud enough since they're not inside a car. You wouldn't want to startle them and cause a crash. Help us accomplish this goal! Learn more on Traffic Safety Laws http://floridabicycle.org/bicycle-traffic-law/
Bicyclists are expected to obey all traffic laws because they are considered vehicles in most areas. Ride with both hands on the handlebars, stop and check for traffic when pulling onto a street, approaching a curb, or reaching a stop sign. Cross only at intersections. Ride your bike in the same direction as traffic, use bike lanes when possible, obey traffic control devices and try to ride single file when accompanied by other riders.
Most bike accidents result from running into stationary objects, like signs or benches. Keep your eyes on the road at all times in order to ensure you don’t collide with something or fall off your bike. Watch out for large puddles, storm grates, curbs, changes in road height, wet leaves and gravel. Also, be on the lookout for other bikers, strollers, kids and animals. A bell or horn allows you to warn pedestrians that are approaching. You may also verbally warn pedestrians and other cyclists when preparing to pass them.
Hand Signals
Bicycle rides will often require the use of public streets and intersections. Using the appropriate hand signals can help you safely navigate congested areas. Ensure that nearby motorists have clearly seen your signal before attempting to turn.
Bike Maintenance
Before each ride, check your bike to make sure it is in good working order. Make sure the breaks are working properly, heck for loose parts and confirm that your lights and reflectors are attached and clean. Consider taking it to a bike shop for a tune-up about every six months.
Try riding your bike today. Use the Broward Bicycle Suitability Map to plan your route. Don’t have a bike? Bike sharing makes it economical and convenient to use bikes for trips that are too far to walk but too short to drive. Rent a BCycle bike at one of the stations on the beach to run errand, gran lunch, travel from bus stop to your office or just fresh air!
Hallandale Beach BCycle Station is located at the Hallandale Beach Water Tower (Take Bus Route 1) to 2801 E. Hallandale Beach Blvd. Hallandale Beach, FL 33009.
Bicycle Racks
Bike Racks are available on all Hallandale Beach Community Buses. Bike Racks are designed to carry two bikes only. It is important to have the operator’s attention before loading and unloading your bike. As the bus approaches, have your bike ready to load. Remove any loose items that may fall off.
Loading
-
Always load your bike from the curbside of the street.
-
Lower-Squeeze the handle and pull down to release the folded bike rack.
-
Lift your bike into the rack, fitting the wheels into the slots of the vacant position closest to the bus.
-
Latch-Pull and release the support arm over the front tire, making sure the support arm is resting on the tire, not on the fender or frame.
-
Before exiting, notify the operator you are removing your bike.
-
Pull the support arm off the tire. Move the support arm down and out of the way. Lift your bike out of the rack. If your bike is the only one on the rack, return the rack to the upright position.
-
Move quickly to the curb.
Helmet size varies based on different manufacturers. The following provides a general idea. For more details go to the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute or go to the manufacturer website.
The best way to fit a helmet is to measure the child’s head around the widest part just above the eyebrows and ears.
Helmets should have a label indicating what size they are. Choose the smallest helmet that will fit the child.
First put on the helmet so it is level on the child’s head and if it slides around or moves side to side, insert helmet sizing pads.
• Eyes: The child should be able to see the front edge of the helmet.
• Ears: The sliders should be moved up to just under the ear lobes.
• Mouth: The chin strap should fit snugly enough that opening the mouth widely will move the helmet.
Follow the diagram for fitting a helmet:

The plan is focused on the 5 E’s: Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Engineering, and Evaluation. A list of partnering schools include:
- Hallandale Magnet High School
- Colbert Museum Magnet
- Hallandale Elementary
- Lake Forest Elementary
- Watkins Elementary
- McNicol Middle School
Transportation Master Plan
In addition to the Citywide Master Plan, the City has hired the consulting firm HDR to prepare a Transportation Master Plan for Hallandale Beach. This plan will identify recommended transportation improvements to address the City’s concerns and needs regarding existing and future traffic conditions through 2030.
The Transportation Master Plan will include the development of a traffic cost model to determine project impacts and the associated costs of accommodating traffic from the development activity in the City. The goals of the Master Plan will be to:
- Quantify the transportation impact and needs of future development and redevelopment activity in the City for Year 2015 and 2030
- Identify and prioritize appropriate facility improvements and mitigation strategies to ensure adequate mobility in the future
- Estimate the costs of recommended transportation improvements and identify the appropriate share from new developments/redevelopments
The Citywide Transportation Master Plan was adopted by the City Commission at a Special Meeting/Workshop on June 9, 2009.
Presentation to City Commission on 6/9/09
