Bicycle and Moped Regulations
Bicycle Safety: Military Police conduct an annual bike registration in case of theft.
All personnel (including dependents, contractors, retirees, etc.) who ride bicycles on an installation must wear an approved (i.e. American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or Snell Memorial Foundation) bicycle helmet. Workers operating bicycles in areas that require the use of ANSI-approved helmets (hard hats) for protection from falling and flying objects are allowed to use those helmets instead of approved bicycle helmets. EXCEPTION: Workers operating bicycles in industrial/flight line areas designated no-hat area due to potential of FOD need not wear the bicycle helmet; operators of three-wheeled bicycles are not required to wear the bicycle helmet.
The bicycle code of the City of Havelock states that "it is unlawful for any person over the age of 18 who resides in the city to operate or use a bicycle upon any sidewalk, street, alley, or any public highway of the city, unless such bicycle has been properly registered." On base is no exception.
On base, parking of bicycles in any location other than bicycle racks is prohibited. All bicycles parked in violation of these regulations will be locked with a police lock. The bicycle owner must respond to PMO Safety within 24 hours of the bicycle being locked, the lock will be removed. If the owner does not respond within 24 hours, the owners lock will be cut and the bicycle impounded when bicycles pose a safety hazard, impede pedestrians, block access, or damage property.

Points are given for the following offenses: (An accumulation of points may require you to retake a Drivers Education Course and you may also have your base driving privileges suspended or revoked.)

MCAS Cherry Point Motorcycle Regulations
All personnel entering the installation must attend a safety briefing before driving a motorcycle and must wear a helmet and a reflectorized vest. North Carolina has a helmet law but all active duty is required to wear a helmet regardless of being on or off post anyway.
All persons operating a vehicle at MCAS Cherry Point are responsible for carrying and producing proof of current motor vehicle insurance. Motorcycles are no exception.
A motorcycle is any "vehicle (both street and off-road versions) having a seat or saddle for the use of its operator and designed to travel on not more than three wheels" and includes "vehicles with less than 50cc engines such as mopeds, motor scooters, and motorized bicycles." [par 4g]
We encourage riders to complete a refresher course "before each riding season, after long periods of inactivity, purchase of a new motorcycle, transfer to a new geographical area or in those areas with high concentrations of motorcycle mishaps or hazardous traffic conditions."
Speed Limits
The Air Station speed limit is 20 to 45 mph where posted. All government-housing areas have 15-20 mph speed limits, and parking lots have a 10 mph speed limit. When approaching or passing columns of troops in formation or other pedestrians on the road, the speed limit is 10 mph.
Off base residentially the speed limit is 35 MPH, it is 45MPH through Havelock's business district and the max speed on the highways within the area is 55MPH. It is 35MPH around all schools and churches. It is 5MPH in any parking lot and 15MPH when making a turn. Pedestrians have the right of way.
Traffic Laws
Seat Belts are mandatory - wear them! It's a DOD regulation and a North Carolina state law that seat belts will be worn in government and civilian vehicles on or off station by all vehicle occupants. A child less than 6 years of age must be restrained, no matter where seated, by an appropriate child restraint system. Children, 4 years old and under, must be in a federally approved child car safety seat.
Traffic signals control traffic and pedestrians at some intersections and mid-block crosswalks as follows: (1) a circular green signal means "go" but left turning traffic is unprotected and must yield right of way to on-coming traffic; (2) a circular yellow signal means caution and the signal is about to turn red; (3) a circular red signal means stop.
REMEMBER:
Stop on yellow unless you are too close to the intersection to stop safely - in that case, drive cautiously through the intersection.
Unless there is a sign indicating "NO TURN ON RED," you can turn right on red after stopping and ensuring that the turn can be made safely.
VEHICLE CHECKS
Vehicle checks are held periodically aboard the Air Station. You may be asked to show your license and identification card and/or to step away from the car for a check of the trunk or interior. When aboard Cherry Point, you must yield to any request for a vehicle check. Identification cards are requested after 2300 each evening and up to 0500, and the car may be inspected during these hours. Road checks are periodically held in the surrounding communities
ACCIDENTS
Accidents occurring aboard Cherry Point and in the adjacent communities must be reported. The law protects a person who stops and renders aid at a scene of an accident from civil liability except for intentional wrongdoing or unruly conduct. If you are in an accident, you must: (1) give your name and automobile registration number as well as the name of your automobile insurance company; (2) be certain to get the same information from others who were involved in the accident; and (3) if you do not know who was in the other car, or whose property was damaged, write down all the information you can gather and give it to the nearest police officer.
You are required by law to make an immediate report to the nearest enforcement officer or agency of any accident in which any person is killed or injured or in which the total damage to cars and other property appears to amount to $500 or more. Failure to do so may result in prosecution, and your driver's license may be suspended.
You should also report an accident to your insurance company. In certain cases, North Carolina law requires that the driver of any vehicle involved in a reportable accident provide proof of financial responsibility (liability insurance) on special forms sent by the Division of Motor Vehicles. These forms must be completed and filed with the DMV.
