California's 3-foot buffer zone for cyclists takes effect today [View all]
Statewide regulations that take effect today require drivers to stay at least three feet away from cyclists while passing, or face a $35 fine.
If a vehicle is in the buffer zone and a collision occurs that injures the cyclist, the driver could face a $220 fee.
More than 150 cyclists were killed in car collisions in California in 2012, according to the California Highway Patrol's most recent data. In Los Angeles County, nearly 5,000 cyclists were killed or injured in traffic accidents that year.
