New T2 Sharing the Road Tech Brief
 When we look at roadway safety much of the concern is for vehicle safety. However in many cases a vehicle must share the road with pedestrians and cyclists, and many local roads do not have adequate width for separate travel areas for all users. Due to this safety concern, Connecticut has introduced the "Share the Road" campaign. Read our new Tech Brief Sharing the Road for Motorists, Pedestrians and Cyclists to learn about the "Three Feet" Passing Law, and get tips on how to share the road when you're traveling by car, foot and bicycle.
