AI Summary

This bill allows a driver of a motorcycle to proceed past a traffic control signal that is inoperative, remains on steady red or yellow for 2 minutes or more, or fails to recognize the motorcycle for 2 minutes or more. The existing law, which previously required drivers to treat such malfunctioning signals as stop signs, is being amended to provide an exception for motorcycle riders. The bill takes effect 90 days after the general assembly's final adjournment, unless a referendum petition is filed, in which case it would need to be approved by voters at the next general election.
