More road safety rules may be on the way, some of which aim to hold cyclists more accountable. She hopes the new rule will force drivers to share the road more. "Drivers in Montreal can be a bit hectic," Murray, who lives in the Plateau neighbourhood, said.

Cyclist Manual Barea, however, says he thinks teaching people to share the road would be more effective than punishing them after the fact.
