Anchorage Helmet Ordinance
Ordinance 9.38.200
Wearing a bicycle helmet is mandatory for any person fifteen years of age or younger when on a bicycle in public places. Public places include, but are not limited to, streets, sidewalks, pathways, trails, parking lots and skate parks.
Failure to wear a bicycle helmet or other protective headgear is a traffic violation which shall result in a warning for a first offense and which carries a fine of $25 for each subsequent offense. The fine may be waived if proof that a bicycle helmet has been obtained is presented to the Anchorage Police Department.
...and remember,
if your child doesn't have a bike helmet and your family can't afford to buy one, Providence Hospital has provided the City of Anchorage with bicycle helmets.
Parents or legal guardians can stop by a designated distribution site for a FREE
helmet for their children 15 years of age or younger. Your youngster will be fitted
for their new helmet to ensure a proper fit.
