As Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall (JBM-HH) continues its implementation of new access control measures, the base will begin new procedures to standardize bicycle traffic patterns effective Monday, Oct. 12.

In accordance with the Virginia State Code and JBM-HH Regulation 190-15, bicyclists are required to ride with the flow of traffic and use the appropriate hand and arm signals unless they are dismounted, at which time the rules pertaining to pedestrians will apply.

When entering JBM-HH through any of the installation Access Control Points (ACP), bicyclists who are dismounted prior to entry onto the installation will be treated as pedestrians and will be required to proceed through the ACP as a pedestrian. Bicyclists who are mounted will proceed with the flow of traffic and proceed through the ACP similar to a motorcycle.

When entering the Hatfield Gate ACP (at Washington Blvd. and South 2nd Street), all bicyclists who are mounted (regardless of whether they are visitors or have DoD or AIE identification cards) are to proceed on the left-side access roadway and are to continue to the vehicle search lane to get properly identified and/or logged in as a visitor.

Bicyclists must obey all traffic laws and fully comply with safety requirements prior to entering the installation, such as wearing a helmet and using appropriate lighting equipment during hours of darkness and limited visibility.
