The Law
Under Maryland transportation law, your pedal-powered vehicle can have a bell, but absolutely not a siren or a whistle. This regulation dates back to the early days of emergency vehicles, ensuring civilians wouldn't confuse a neighborhood kid on a bike with an approaching fire engine. You'll have to stick to a classic bell to warn pedestrians.
