my take on their reasoning is because there are so few MUPs in the state and riding on the road those bells are pretty pointless.
I don't think traffic rules would apply to the Canal path anyway since they aren't "roads" and bikes on them aren't, therefore, vehicles. I don't think motor vehicle laws apply to those paths.
