Bill > S00920

This bill amends the New York vehicle and traffic law to allow bicyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs and traffic-control signals with steady circular red signals or red arrow signals as stop signs. Specifically, the bill requires bicyclists to slow down or stop at stop signs, yield to pedestrians and vehicles, and then proceed cautiously through the intersection. Similarly, the bill allows bicyclists to stop at a red light or red arrow signal and then proceed through the intersection after yielding to pedestrians and vehicles. This bill aims to provide more flexibility for bicyclists while maintaining safety requirements.
