DOT Removes Bike Lanes and Speed Cameras from Safety Measures List

The U.S. Department of Transportation updated its safety measures inventory. Bike lanes and speed cameras were omitted from the new list. The change reflects a shift in the agency's transportation priorities. Officials cited limited evidence of effectiveness for the removed items. Critics argue the removal may undermine cyclist safety and traffic enforcement. The DOT said it will continue to evaluate alternative safety strategies. Local jurisdictions may need to reassess their own bike lane and camera programs. The decision is expected to spark further debate among policymakers.
