Emergency dispatcher:
About a decade ago, new bicycle safety regulations were implemented in Rocheau, which outlawed riding a bike against traffic and made it mandatory to use a dedicated bike lane whenever one is available. Interestingly, the rate of traffic accidents involving bike riders and resulting in hospitalization has been in decline ever since. Without a doubt, the new bicycle safety regulations in Rocheau have taken road safety for bike riders to the next level.
