Sure wish they would do this in Minnesota:
Bicycle Traps Coming to Utah ...
You've heard of speed traps but have you heard of a bicycle trap? Five
Utah
police agencies will be participating in a state-sponsored crackdown
on
motorists who aren't sharing the roads with bicycles. Plainclothes
officers
will ride bicycles to catch motorists who aren't sharing the road.
Assistant
Chief Craig Gibson says it's a growing safety problem.
Assistant Layton Police Chief Craig Gibson says what they'll do is put
plainclothes cops on bikes to catch motorists. Cops in cars will then
write
the tickets. On average, the state health department says 900
bicyclists are
hit each year. Four other Utah police departments are participating in
the
statewide enforcement program.
