S 12-707 Sirens, whistles prohibited
No bicycle may be equipped with a siren or whistle. No person may
use a siren or whistle when operating a bicycle.

I'm pushing for a rule in Oregon requiring fenders with a full rear flap. Rain is returning. And I want to repeal the no-siren rule. How is a cyclist to be truly conspicuous without a siren?

How can they make it illegal to have a siren/horn on a bicycle, yet cars and motorcycles are required to have horns so drivers can blare them at cyclists? I am aware that fair and law are not related.


I have no idea.
The usual scenario is that some major vendor of sirens or
whatnot refuses to pay up during 'rulemaking'. I don't think
such a vendor exists for bicycle sirens, so one guess is as
good as another.
