Cal. Pub. Resources Code § 5051

Current through the 2023 Legislative Session.
Section 5051 - Legislative findings

The Legislature finds that a substantial number of Californians bicycle and walk for recreational enjoyment and that, given safer routes and more suitable accommodations, would choose such travel means to reach and enjoy scenic areas and recreation facilities throughout the state. The Legislature finds that it is in the public interest to provide means for bicyclists and hikers to reach safely, and utilize conveniently, units of the state park system and local and regional parks and recreation areas. The Legislature specifically finds that the existing mix of motor vehicles and bicycles on the highways of the state creates hazards to motorists and cyclists alike and demands immediate remedial action.
