Ocean City Police reported that this year they are seeing a dramatic decrease in the number of bicycles, pedestrian and scooter accidents.
On August 15, police announced that compared to last year, crash numbers have been cut in half and no deaths have been reported in motor vehicle crashes. Police reported that this year bicycle accidents have decreased 50 percent and pedestrian accidents have dropped 56 percent. Scooter accidents have seen the biggest decrease at 68 percent.
Police credit the success to the “Walk Smart” pedestrian safety campaign launched in May with state officials. There is also a “Ride Smart” campaign for cyclists. Police say new motor scooter registration and insurance requirements that began this year have helped reduce scooter collisions.
