St. Charles County Seeks to Ban Bicycles on State Highways

MoDOT says St. Charles County doesn't have the authority to ban bicycles on State Highways. County Councilman Joe Brazil disagrees, stating that the County's charge to regulate health and safety trumps MoDOT. That's something that will have to potentially be settled in court. Beyond the legal authority question, the idea of banning bicycles on state highways and potentially other rural roads because they present a danger to motorists is backward and ridiculous.
