As one Richmond resident works to have signage in Uptown Richmond clarified with regard to bicycling via a petition, a Town Manager in Hagerstown has called for the same to happen there.

The [current] signs read, "Bicycles, skateboards or similar devices are prohibited on sidewalks and streets in the central business district." However, town officials say the intent of that sign was not to prohibit bicycles from streets. "That's not the intent of that because we recognize that bicycles are a mode of transportation and on a street that's perfectly acceptable," said Hagerstown Police Chief Kent Hollenberg.

In Richmond, the signs read "NO DOGS BIKES SKATES SKATEBOARDING" and cause similar confusion for cyclists.
