As we approach the summer season and warmer weather, the City of Warren Police Department would like to remind everyone that motorists, bicyclists, and E-Bike operators all share the roadway together. Safety requires everyone to pay attention, operate responsibly, and follow Pennsylvania traffic laws.

Bicycles and E-Bikes are considered vehicles when operated on roadways and operators are required to obey traffic laws just like motorists. This includes:

• Stopping at stop signs and traffic signals
• Yielding the right-of-way when required
• Riding in the proper direction of traffic
• Using proper hand signals when turning or stopping
• Operating at safe and lawful speeds
• Using lights and reflectors when riding at night

One of the growing concerns we continue to observe involves the speed capabilities of modern E-Bikes. Many E-Bikes can travel at very high speeds and operators must remember that speed limits apply to them as well.

Pennsylvania law also places additional regulations on certain E-Bikes depending on their motor size and capabilities. E-Bikes over certain power and speed thresholds may legally be classified as motor-driven cycles or motorcycles, which can require:

• A valid driver’s license
• Registration
• Insurance
• Proper equipment compliance

We frequently encounter juveniles operating high-powered E-Bikes or electric dirt bikes on public roadways without the legally required licensing or equipment. Officers will continue to take enforcement action when necessary in accordance with Pennsylvania law to improve safety for everyone.

Additionally, the City of Warren Police Department would like to remind the public that bicycles and E-Bikes are NOT permitted to be ridden on sidewalks within the downtown business district. This ordinance exists to protect pedestrians and prevent injuries in heavily traveled areas. Operators observed riding on downtown sidewalks may be cited.

Parents are encouraged to review the laws and safety requirements involving E-Bikes before purchasing or allowing children to operate them. Not every electric bike marketed online is street legal in Pennsylvania.

For everyone’s safety:

✔ Wear a helmet
✔ Stay alert and avoid distractions
✔ Obey traffic laws
✔ Ride responsibly
✔ Watch your speed
✔ Be visible to motorists

Our goal is not simply enforcement — it is education, injury prevention, and keeping everyone safe this summer.

Please drive and ride responsibly.

**SCAM ALERT**

A citizen was contacted by unknown males who identified themselves as the Chief of Police and a Sergeant. The phone number was spoofed to appear as though it was coming from the station. The citizen was asked to place a specified amount of money on the front porch where it was picked up by an unknown male.

WPD will never call you for a monetary transaction and surely would not have anyone leave money unattended on their porch. All citations, warrants, etc. are handled through the courts and not at the station.

If you receive any phone calls requesting money, please contact WPD immediately and do not fall victim to this scam.

WPD non-emergency line is 814-723-2700.
