Only this year? Wonder how many people even know about the law. PA passed its 4' law back in 2012. Yep. 4'. A couple of years ago a bike club in the most affluent county in the state, which borders Philly, wanted to start a campaign to educate drivers. Members contacted the county sheriff. Guess what. Even he didn't know the law existed. He held several press conferences to educate the public. His office also paid for 300 campaign-style signs that were placed along roads that are popular with cyclists.

Give it time. Better yet, become an advocate. Having toured across PA three times since the law was passed I think it has had an impact.
